The District got slammed by a massive snowstorm last night. Since this is officially my first blizzard, I decided to break my camera fast and take a walk outside to shoot some photos. Despite the fact the snow is going to make life quite difficult for some in the next few days, you can’t deny the beauty...

Eat Your Heart Out, Food Network.
Even though I wasn’t able to spend Thanksgiving this year with my family in Tinsel Town, I was lucky enough to enjoy the holiday with good friends in Arlington, VA. While I recover from last night’s food coma, have a look at some of the lovely things we put on our table. The famous Fowler...
Lazy Sunday
It’s getting colder. The last of the leaves are falling. The Californian in me wanted to put gloves on, but I resisted. I’m getting tougher every year. Here are some photos from my Sunday afternoon Mall walk. Winter approaches us. Yoga poses. A beautiful horse named Hermes.
Help-Portrait: 12.12.09
I stumbled across the Help-Portrait website and was instantly inspired by this project.

Sometimes You Need A Quiet Afternoon
There are days when you just need to choose a direction and start walking. Today was one of those days. I made a trek eastward from Columbia Heights and a few miles down the road on the Catholic University campus, the lovely, yet ginormous (yes, this word is listed in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Basilica of the National Shrine...

That’s right, welcome to the Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair in Adams Morgan, a huge yearly event for the indie crafting folk and a dance exhibition for some of the area’s most talented breakdancers. I managed to catch the tail end of...
You Are What You Eat: The White House Farmers’ Market
After reading about all of the hoopla that took place at the inaugural White House Farmers’ Market on September 17, 2009, I thought I would take a stroll down to McPherson Square and check it out for myself. Alas, no Secret Service Agents, barricades, police cars, snipers, or alert German Shepherds were in sight, so it was safe...
For The Neighborhood It Is A-Changin’
I took a walk down to the Columbia Heights Plaza to see the fruits of the seemingly endless construction that has been going on. I think the fountain is lovely and I hope it will do something positive for the neighborhood. As for the solar light panel structures…they’re growing on me. Here are a few...
