Whirlwind tour of DC this weekend with a photography seminar in the middle. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the weekend. ;-)
Not gonna lie, I think that one ↑ is my favorite. (It’s better bigger!)

Things I learned:
– Drive to the Zoo. The Parking lots are much more convenient than the Metro.
– I feel very strongly that a history museum should feel old, not modern. It makes me sad.
– The International Spy Museum is kinda awesome. Highly recommend. Content is interesting, presentation and branding stellar. I didn’t even mind that I couldn’t take pictures. That’s how awesome it is.
Pretty sure I had other thoughts I was going to post, but now I can’t think of them.

To see more photos from the trip, click here. There are a bunch.

I was planning to use a Christmas-like shot, but I didn’t do too many of those. Because I feel like inspiration is lacking for me (especially with this blog–although that’s more of a motivation issue), I thought this would be appropriate.
I have begun another 365. Not all self-portraits, and I don’t love any of them yet; I’m just trying to get back in the habit of taking more photos. You can see the ones I’ve posted by clicking here. I need to get motivated and update that too. ;-)
