DC Improv Funniest College in the District Finals

Coming soon....

I was at the finals of the DC Improv's Funniest College Competition show last week and was taking photos for On Tap Magazine. However, the story and photos don't come out until May 1st so I have to wait to post up the sweet shots until then.

I can say that the winner was Molly Martinez, a freshman from American University. She was the only girl in the group of 13 finalists and really won over the crowd from the start. She was hysterical.

Photos to come next week!

Springtime in DC = Cherry Blossoms

Waking up before dawn just to see the sunrise come over the Capitol and bathe the cherry blossoms in golden light on the Tidal Basin is totally worth it. I love sunrises anywhere but seeing one during the peak bloom of the beautiful cherry blossom season is amazing.

I have lived in the Washington, DC area for over four years now but I also went to college in DC, so I've had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Taking photos of them never gets old, especially since its more challenging as I grow as a photographer. I'm always looking for that new angle or new way of seeing the blossoms that I haven't before. I think I got a couple of them this morning. See the full set here.

This is my favorite shot - I was playing around with the focus on the lens and came up with this shot of the cherry blossoms and a blurred Washington Monument.

Here's another shot that I came up with that's a little different from others I have taken. I tried to get a good view of Thomas Jefferson and the blossoms and I saw him hiding out in the blossoms on this shot.
