Dumbarton Oaks

I have been wanting to check out Dumbarton Oaks ever since I read my friend Matt's blog about getting kicking out while trying to do an engagement shoot(if you don't read his blog...you are missing out...not only is he an amazing photographer, he is also a very good writer). You can read about it here. Anyway, last weekend Karin and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather we had in the Washington area and take a walk through the gardens. As usual, Matt was right, the place is a photographers dream and fortunately we didn't get kicked out for taking a few pictures. Here are a couple of the shots that I took:
I am looking forward to returning when spring comes around and the garden is in full bloom.

New Addition on the Way

I haven't posted a blog in a while (this seems to be a recurring theme with this site)...but things have been busy lately. We are preparing for a new member. He should be arriving early April. I took this picture the other day after work with my new toy the 5D Mark II. The camera is pretty amazing...this was taken at ISO 2500. Trying to take a picture with the first 5D at an ISO over 1600 was pointless, the image would be much too grainy to be used. Anyway, pretty exciting stuff.
Hopefully I will get some new images up soon.
