Connecticut Ave - 11am - 2 Hours
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography.

The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

    Andrew was knowledgable and flexible, but we were not shooting at a great time of day or in a prime motion blur location. He offered clear instructions with hands-on assistance, and he demonstrated in addition to observing. Very good combo. Nice small group with interesting participants.

    I took my son to see an old friend because he wanted to play with wire wool and try and get some "cool" pictures. We also took some led masks with us too. Was an eventful night and I'm sure somewhere along the line will see the rest of the results here

    Title or Location: Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, VA
    There are many great things to see and explore at Huntley Meadows Park, and sometimes they aren't discovered until you get into post. I had taken pictures of a couple cattails and didn't see these until getting home and into LrC where upon cropping I saw these awesome Red-headed Meadow Katydids (I think).

    As a wedding present for my nephew, I offered to take photos at his wedding. Little did I know that he wanted me to be his main photographer. I approached this "assignment" with excitement and trepidation as I am not a professional photographer nor had I ever shot a wedding before. All-in-all, I had fun doing it and even better he and his now wife really liked the photos (and videos).

    Title or Location: "Freefalling"
    This is a photo I took of Frederick-area model Sister Dee in January 2008. Known for her waist-length brunette hair, Sister Dee was in high demand by both model and fine art photographers alike.For this photo, I am standing on a step ladder and Dee simply lifted her head upwards and let her hair flow. Then I simply flipped the image to make it appear as though she was freefalling through the air.

    I live near the water. As I worked in my garden, this eagle landed near the water's edge. It stayed long enough for me to grab my good old Cannon Rebel and I was able to capture several images with my 200mm lens. The bird seemed to have no fear of me. I moved slowly peacefully towards it and I ended up about 25' away. I did not want to scare it, so I only captured a few images. When I had finished, the bird remained here for quite some time. It was an amazing experience. I did crop the image to
