Off in the Sunset

Posted by Disoriented (Grinnell, IA, United States) on 19 February 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

I was at the US Botanic Garden with my new Canon PowerShot taking shots of the beautiful orchids when I realized it stopped raining. In the morning, it was in the high 60s so it was unusually warm, but by midday it dropped several degrees and it was pouring rain. When I realized it had stopped and saw the sun come out, my instincts told me to rush outside and photograph whatever I could. This shot of the Washington Monument was taken at the Reflecting Pool in front of Capitol Hill.

By the way, I really am very happy with my new Canon PowerShot. It's not your oversimplified "point-and-shoot," but it is the right size and it provides enough flexibility for what I want to do. =D

12/24/08: Grading is done. I'm packed and ready to go. I'll be off for vacation in San Francisco for a few days with family and friends. Happy holidays everyone!

KINDA' SORTA' FAMOUS?: I am happy to inform you that my shot of the glass canopy of Kogod Courtyard was featured as a banner for the blog of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery called Face to Face.
