People and Things

Fall 2008

My new room, with Laurent	Jefferson Memorial	Sunset over the Potomac	Old Glory by twilight
Pennsylvania Avenue	Laurent	Canoes on the Potomac	Teddy Roosevelt
The view from under the Roosevelt Bridge	Swamp flower (I'm terrible with botany)	The Key Bridge	A blue-tailed skink
Cranes over Washington	Dupont Circle metro	I thought this was the Washington Post, but I'm pretty sure it's not	Union Station
These are dolphin protesters in Dupont Circle, marching for dolphin rights		Train is a-comin', oh yeah	My roommate Tristan
These are all from a 14-mile walk I took from campus to the Capitol and back. I saw a huge building, a black squirrel, and a building shaped like a boat. Also: want to know how to look like a Washington native? Dress like this, apparently. I got stopped and asked for directions like four times!
The US Capitol	Flowers at the National Botanical Gardens. They also have a cool sustainable living exhibit outside in the courtyard.		The National Cathedral, not far from my campus.

CHCI Public Policy Conference & Awards Gala

I covered this for my internship with Hispanic Link.

Fredericksburg

I went on assignment to Fredericksburg, Virginia in search of swing voters.

Sights of downtown Fredericksburg
I think this was part of a church	This is what a Republican house looks like	I just liked this house	Cool plant, right?
The dry Rappahannock River		Just like colonial times!	The most fall-ish tree ever
A cute kitty on a porch in Fredericksburg

The Rest of October

At CBS, Facing the Nation		It's Bob Day: Schieffer and Woodward!
John waiting to ask Woodward a question	Me and Charlotte eating lunch at Potbelly's	Mom and aunts at Teddy Roosevelt Island
We went to a folk music show!	The Hutch News at the Newseum	The Natural History Museum (with cool new Ocean exhibit)
At the Washington Post	Sterling, Virginia: trees, a caterpillar, and telephone birds

Halloween

The first couple pictures aren't very Halloweeny, but they were all taken on Halloween.

Laurent at Lunch	Me on the train, looking concerned	The Capitol: at dusk and twilight (if you haven't figured it out yet, this is one of my favorite Washington buildings to photograph)
Washington Monument with orange sky	Carsten is creepy, no? Captain America doesn't think so.
Cool political display on East Capitol St. My favorite is the Palin pig.
A neat Barack-o-Lantern		The crew again. Carsten still creepy.	Me and Joe!
