On a sunny day, the Korean War Veterans Memorial is a moving sight. When it snows, Gaylord and Nelson's design becomes downright creepy. This image is part of a set I took on my way to work one chilly February morning.

Is there anything better than women on bicycles? I was fortunate to have my camera handy to catch these two teams duking it out in a street race in 2005.

Another church. Sorry. At least this one's in another city this time. I promise to be more original with these in the future.

At work, there's never an end to the promotional items. Here's a cute inflatable they put up for Halloween.

I know the Post did it first, but the Washington Monument's ring of flags is too compelling to resist. This photo was taken during last spring's Smithsonian Kite Festival. More photos here.

Still looking at the sky. Not terribly exciting, but vibrant enough. This photo was taken in 2002, from my car as I commuted to work.

Why do I spend so much time staring at the sky? Anyway, this mantis-like high tension power rig was photo'd in summer, but the blues are good for winter, too.

Things are never what they seem at the Folklife Festival. Serenely and naturally, this woman peers through a mockup of an Omani house. There are many tourists just outside the frame of this photo.

Flowers again. I'm very sorry. It's the only thing I had handy. Blackeyed susans from the monastery grounds..

Why am I so attracted to churches? This interesting bit of gothique is somewhere near 16th street in the city. I don't remember where exactly.

For those who know how to find it, DC's Franciscan Monastery is an island or pure peace. This photo was taken last summer, but it seems to fit for winter, too...

This photo of hand-carved decoys was taken at the 2004 folklife festival. It was sadly not as much fun as previous years.

I'm gonna miss these little guys. Sure they're creepy, but they're cute at the same time. I hope I'm around to see their kids in 17 years..

Last winter, outside the Philips Collection, I saw this pair of electric scooters. It made me kind of happy to imagine a pair of perfectly-matched scooter owners.

I found what can only be described as a congregation of stone angels in the driveway of a local cemetary. With the falling snow, the scene is quite beautiful in its austereness.

Isn't this a strange looking police cruiser? It's probably just for show. I asked a passing policeman about it, but he didn't have too many answers for me.

During one uncharacteristically easy commute, I snapped this pic almost unconsciously. Days later, I realized that this is the church where I attended summer camp twenty years ago.

Um, ..what can I say. It's a flower.

Providing a small example of how much my beloved Washington DC has changed, this image is a preview of the yet-untitled shallow studios yearbook, due summer 2003.

One of two works in 2002 that featured Washington DC's famed Memorial Bridge. Reworked to washed-out 4-colour.

An outtake from the 2002 Neon Compositions, this photo was reworked into three sister hues. Not very springlike, but it was short notice..

This image is from the first Digital Photography Gallery. It's still my favourite, and seems infinitely reworkable. This version was done in 4-colour.
