Today was really a lovely day. I woke up fairly early because that is how I generally roll. Headed up to the continental breakfast upstairs but didn’t see a single coworker, despite there being maybe 40 in this hotel. No matter, I trotted off quickly to B&H to peruse the camera gear because I am a masochist and know I can’t afford any of it. But I thought maybe I could find a funky camera strap or something. Instead, I picked up a hot shoe sync for my studio lights. Very helpful staff there, as always.
I’m fascinated by reflections. There is so much a photographer can do with mirrors, glass and angles. So you can imagine my delight when I came across one of those triangle forever mirror things at the University of Maryland while I waited for George’s class to get out. I ducked up inside and had lots of fun taking self-portraits. The mirrors were plenty dirty and it was very dark in the hall, but I still had some fun. Here’s me and me and me.
I’m done with the board meetings at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, DC, but I’ve got the room for one more night. George and I are headed to CityZen to try out Eric Ziebold’s award-winning cuisine. We don’t have a reservation but I’m hoping it won’t be a problem. The hotel and restaurant are really not in a convenient part of the city. I’m surprised they set up shop there. For me, it’s back to the normal work day.
