Photography

I enjoy photography, and I have a decent eye, although I’ve had no training.  Here are a few of the best photos I’ve taken:

This was taken in March of 2008.  It’s just a random photo of a bird, but I think it came out really good.

 

 

 

 

 

This was also in March of 2008.  I took my camera down to the National Mall, and I’m not sure what made me decide to take some shots in black & white, but I think it worked very well in this shot.

 

 

 

 

This is probably the best photo I’ve ever taken.  It was in December of 1999, in Paris.  I wasn’t particularly trying for anything, I just got lucky.  I think the different perspective is what makes it work.

 

 

 

 

This was taken in Mallorca in January of 1999.  I was on a cruise around the island, and I just happened to see the sunken boat right there in the harbor.

 

 

 

 

This is Georgetown, as seen from Roosevelt Island.  It was taken in 2001 or 2002.  I really like the way the tree branches frame everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in Paris, December 1999 again.  This is from the window of the Musee d’Orsay, looking out across the Seine.  I think it’s a really neat image.

 

 

 

 

 

This was taken on the same outing as the Georgetown photo above.  This is the trail leading out to Roosevelt Island.  I think the perspective makes it a neat image.

 

 

 

 

 

This was taken in 2003 in the garden of the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.  I like the contrast of colors here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Daisy, the most beautiful cat in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was taken in Paris in December, 1999.  If you look closely at the name of the shop in the center of the photo, you’ll see why I took it.  Jack Kevorkian (the suicide doctor) was a big topic in the news, and I just happened to walk by this shop and catch the name, and I couldn’t pass up the shot.
