A FIRST LOOK….. WHERE DC Guestbook
WHERE MAGAZINE produces the annual “Where Guestbook” which is distributed throughout DC hotels, businesses and destinations. I am delighted to have the opening ten pages in the book and the final page. Editor Jean Lawlor Cohen and Art Director Teri Samuels are responsible for the selection and design of the article. Jean and I have discussed this for several years and so I am extremely happy that it came to fruition in such a beautiful piece.
July 4th Independence Day
A rare view of the Independence Day fireworks from the roof of the Lincoln Memoiral. The image is featured in DC PHOTO BOOK: An Insider’s View. The National Mall is an amazing place and I hope you will take a few moments to visit the Women’s Memorial where my images from WWII Memorial: Jewel of the Mall are featured. For […]
DC PHOTO BOOK: Tidal Basin Blossoms
The Infrared camera is an interesting little device. I don’t know if I will use it frequently but it’s nice to have some variations on a theme. I believe peak bloom will be Saturday and Sunday around the Tidal Basin while some areas like Arlington Cemetery have already begun You can see more of these images at the PHOTO LIBRARY.
WWII Memorial Exhibit at WIMSA
WIMSA (WOMEN IN MILITARY SERVICE TO AMERICA) is probably the best-kept secret in Washington, DC. It is is one of the more significant yet invisible architectural triumphs in DC. It is so in perfectly attuned to the cemetery’s overall facade that it goes unnoticed. The interior of the Memorial has sweeping forty foot ceilings half of which are skylights which blow vast amounts of light into the interior, so much so that I am constantly surprised that the prints show no sign of fading
Honor Flight Book Ordering
I will not be reprinting books this year and I am working out an arrangement with Amazon to fulfill all orders come 2015 They are far more efficient and are already taking care of all single book purchases. They may not be delivering your books by drone but they have made self-publishing practical. …which brings me to….

March on Washington, DC: 1983
This picture was taken shortly before the speakers began at the 20th Anniversary of the “March on Washington” in 1983
TIDEWATER: Classic Yachts
It’s been a busy year in Washington, DC but every week, I try to get out on the L’Escargot and capture the beauty of sailing on the Chesapeake. I know exactly which photograph this will replace in the new edition of Tidewater: The Chesapeake Bay in Photographs. This is a classic Tartan 37 cruiser/racer. I’d guess it’s early seventies and in great shape and trim as it sails off Herrington Harbour.
WWII Memorial Book on iBooks
Jewel of the Mall: World War II Memorial is now available on the iBookstore! Its delivery was slightly delayed when we cleared our schedules to plan and install the WWII Memorial show at the Women’s Memorial. But that did allow us to feature the new show in the digital book! This digital edition contains all […]
Friends of the National WWII Memorial sponsor show
Friends of the National World War II Memorial have joined the Women in Military Service For America Memorial in sponsoring the printing of the eighty-five images from my WWII Memorial project. The show is coming together and about ninety percent of the prints are in place. We are printing up the last ten percent and designing […]
VE DAY: WWII Memorial
Several hundred people gathered at the WWII Memorial today to celebrate the 68th Anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day at the WWII Memorial. In attendance were the board of Directors of Friends of the WWII Memorial, reprsentatives Karen Curcurullo and Robin Owen of the National Park Service as well as an Honor Flight from Tucson Arizona. There was a moving re-enlistment ceremony and Holocaust survivors and WWII veterans placed wreaths in front of the Wall of Stars. The rains held off and in fact the weather was quite beautiful. The Memorial is a far better place with water than without. Great credit goes to Terry and the National Park Service for getting the fountains running.

A show of my images at the Women in Military Service to America Memorial on June 12, 2013 for at least six months. I am delighted!

As of today, the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC will be handling the DC PHOTO BOOK. We are very excited to have the book at their bookstore which houses a wonderful collection of books on espionage and intrigue.

Preparing for the Presidency
It’s quite a wonderful collection and everyone who put it together deserves thanks. DC PHOTO BOOK just arrived and I am reminded of the various inaugurations I have photographed. I am happy this year to be working indoors!

Panning for Gold
Just when you feel you’ve taken every possible angle and image of the WWII Memorial (and I’ve made my share!), you stumble across another view. Yesterday, we were let out of the cab at the front of the Memorial and wandered into this area overlooking the Plaza. The images are available on the studio archive […]
Pentagon Memorial
I have seen sketches of the new Pentagon Memorial and was not expecting the elegance and sophistication of the design. It is truly a subtle solution for this little trafficked Memorial. We are adding photos to the DC PHOTO BOOK due out in the Fall and this will be a stunning addition. Visit before it’s […]
Michigan Honor Flight
Faye Wisely was the first person I ever contacted about Honor Flight. No one was quite sure of how to go about accomplishing the task of moving all those vets. She pointed me to Earl Morse who was still working it out with Jeff Miller over the dinner table.
Kaskey Studio Site
Sculptor Ray Kaskey who sculpted the the WWII Memorial elements just completed assignments for the “International Brotherhood of Teamsters” and the “International Union of Operating Engineers.” I added twelve pages to the site and updated the “Commissions” page. I designed the site two years ago in Dreamweaver and still think it’s an elegant piece of code.
Barcelona: Visual Treats
Barcelona was a visual feast and there was no imaging restraint possible! I have just finished doing a preliminary edit using Lightroom. While I haven’t had much experience with LR, i found it satisfying to take these gritty green fluorescent night shots and turn them into relatively interesting color or lack of. The choice of […]

Kilroy Was Here Commemorative Stamp
I got this email from Pat Tillery who is pushing to have Kilroy put on a stamp: “Stephen, I received your excellent book yesterday. Thank you. After only a glance, it thoroughly exploded an old theory of mine about photography. Back when I worked as a civilian in Bangkok, I had a Pentax 35mm camera […]
