Civil War Day...

... i caught the Civil War Day festivities at Cherry Hill Park in Falls Church, VA.  I am never very fond of American History in general... especially the civil war but I would love to shoot some re-enactment battle sometime.

It was not a very fun camera day for me... until they let me shoot a 'civil war era fashion show'.  They really love that time period... and it showed.

My Artomatic Wall...

... Artomatic is in full swing.  I am already done with my 15 hours of volunteer service.  This was a lot more work than i expected, but nothing so bad that i wouldn't do it again!  I am on the eight floor and would appreciate your visit.

Meet-the-Artist night was a lot of fun... thanks for stopping by and saying hello.  I made some contacts, got some potential gigs and sold some prints.

The show lasts till June 15.  The amount of art (in all its flavors) is astounding.  it is a great date idea for you and your significant other.  To see all eight floors would take about three separate trips.  Click on the title of the post to go to their website.  See the calendar of events - go see some bands and art!

National Cathedral...

... caught the "Lighting to Unite" illumination show projected on the National Cathedral on Mother's Day by Swiss illumination artist Gerry Hofstetter.  He illuminated the south and west sides of the cathedral in celebration of its centennial.  Neat artist and concept.  Google him for his portfolio.

Click the title of the post to see good sharp pictures of the west side.  These on this post are of me playing with pushing and pulling the zoom for effect/affect.

Clarendon Neighborhood Day...

... another parade in Arlington.  Just playing with the colours and some motion.  Saw some of the same people as last year marching in the parade.  Maybe i should think about moving?

An afternoon at the Schulenberg's
