2nd Annual Photo Walk - Washington, D.C.
On July 18, 2009, I packed my camera bag and headed down to Washington, D.C. for Scott Kelby's Second Annual World Wide Photo Walk. About 40 photographers gathered to walk the street around the Verizon Center (Chinatown to the locals). 
Along for the ride was my good friend, blogger, photographer Puna (check out her site for some good stuff). Special thanks to Woody Machalek for snapping the above photo for us.
As we walked the streets we took photographs of pretty much anything and everything.
I found lots of "textures" (i.e. peeling paint)
Some really cool old buildings with hand painted numbers.
Of course there were memorials and statues....
But my favorite part of the walk were the people we ran into along the way. I didn't run across anyone who didn't want to have there picture taken (all you had to do was ask!).
This guy was really interested in what we were doing.
Here is Puna shooting.
And my favorite photo was of this guy I met at Fuddruckers. I saw him in the line to fix his burger and on my way out I asked him if I could take his picture. I gotta tell you, he was the most gracious, well mannered person I met that day. He told me after that he was in a rock band. I'm just sorry I didn't ask for the name of the group. If any one knows, please pass it along.
I'm so looking forward to the 3rd Annual World Wide Photo Walk. I had a blast on this one. Thanks to Jeff Revell for being our group leader and organizing our walk. Thanks Jeff!
You can also see loads of photos (by me and the other photographers) at the Flickr group. Check them out.

Scott Kelby's Second-Annual Worldwide Photo Walk
Q. What is a Photo Walk?
A. It’s a social photography event where photographers get together, usually in a downtown area or trendy section of town, to walk around, shoot photos, and generally have fun with other photographers.
More pictures from todays walk coming soon. Thanks to our leader Jeff Revell for trekking us through the streets and buildings around Washington, DC.

Sports in Action
This past June the gym my daughter has attended for 4 years closed their doors (in part to the economy). On her last day we were told we could photograph and watch their final practice. This image is of my baby girl, leaping off the balance beam (onto a cushy mat). I just love her grace and style! Fly Baby, Fly!!
Be sure to head on over to www.iheartfaces.com to check out all of the beautiful face entries this week!
