I love protests. Truth is, regardless of what people are protesting about, I love photographing the excitement, the signs, and the passion people bring to their rallies. Working just a few steps from the National Mall, I have many opportunities to get down there and capture some of the spirit. It’s a double bonus when the rally is about something I believe in.
I submit that the Tangysweet on 7th is one of the best spots for sneaky street photography in the city. And megabonus: you get to sit inside in the heat. And second megabonus: you get delicious frozen yogurt while you sneak.
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.
