Honor Flights at WWII Memorial!
Eleven Honor Flights descended upon the WWII Memorial and it was nice to see the fountains blasting away and the Memorial Plaza filled with veterans, guardians, tourists and everyone was shaking hands and posing for pictures. I missed the early flights (San Diego must be on California time!) but made pictures the rest of the day. I […]
Weclcome Back to WWII Memorial
Welcome back to whatever we call “normal” here in DC. I am looking forward to seeing nine flights this coming October 19th weekend and will be up at BWI greeting flights this afternoon. Congrats to everyone on a perfectly executed strategy during a difficult time. I believe Honor Flight garnered great media attention as the […]
WWII Memorial Heroes
Jewel of the Mall. Today, veterans from Chicago, Kansas and Missouri visited the WWII Memorial and had to be shielded from the many Congressman and Senators who showed up for a free photo op when the nation is shut down because of their incompetence.
WWII MEMORIAL: Veterans turned away?
This picture was taken at 3PM on Monday September 30th, 2013. Perhaps our elected officials can get off their asses and act as volunteers for WWII Veterans visiting the Memorial. More than 950 Veterans are scheduled to see the Memorial this week with Honor Flight. Lori Turner’s Mississippi Honor Flight Group will be the first […]
DC PHOTO BOOK: 9/11 MEMORIAL
The incredibly thoughtful Memoirial to 9/11 is well worth a visit. The designers embuded this small parcel of ground with as much dignity and grace…
DC PHOTO BOOK: Lincoln Views
I am still editing images from last week’s photo shoot on the Mall. The next edition of DC PHOTO BOOK: An Insider’s View will be richer for the experience. It’s been an amazing summer for photography and I am lucky to have a small business which allows me to pursue
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
MLK: DC PHOTO BOOK
The type alterations to the Martin Luther King Memorial were just fixed n time for the 50th Anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.
Jewel of the Mall
As I am frequently at the WWII Memorial greeting flights or wandering the Mall to the various bookstores, I am always on the lookout for new “opportunities”. I had been quietly lusting after the crane that Hayward Baker and Clark Construction had on their building site but held little hope.
DC PHOTO BOOK
I stopped at the WWII Memorial tonight to see how the construction on the West wall is going. Not so good….and it looks like another month. Hopefully we will have an intact Memorial before long. It’s what we Washingtonians call the “silly season” i
WWII Memorial: Hidden Gems
The Ceremonial Gardens are just behind and to the West of the Atlantic Pavillion. They were designed by James A. Van Sweden, the landscape architect for the Memorial. Until recently, the area always seemed either incomplete or in disrepair but today, the gardens looked perfect. It’s an overlooked and tranquil setting: a nice place to host
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.

Be There or Be Square
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! The museum is cradled into the main entrance of Arlington Memorial Cemetery and its beautifully lit interior is a photographer’s dream. The opening is 6-8 PM and everyone who’s […]
Nationals Opening Day
Five years ago, I had the enviable task of capturing the first pitch at the opening of Nationals Park. The plan was for the photograph to then be turned into a poster distributed stadium-wide after the game. Major League Baseball pitchers throw pretty fast, so it was an exciting proposition. The camera rig was designed […]
National Cherry Blossom Books Signings
I will have the grood fortune to be signing the WWII MEMORIAL and DC PHOTO BOOKS this Monday April 1st (1-4 PM) and Thursday April 4th (1-4 PM) at the National Park Service Cherry Blossom Festival tent run by Eastern National. Watching the anticipation and transition on the Mall from gloomy Winter into exuberant Spring is always fascinating. I am also hoping to do a morning broadcast on WTTG/ Fox news show sometime during the week.
Rocky Mountain Honor Flight
Rocky Mountain Honor Flight. March 22, 2013. A blustery beautiful Spring morning greeted the Rocky Mountain Honor Flight lead by Mary Haddon. Although we had been down to the Memorial several times in the last week, it was good to see the Memorial populated by its natural inhabitants: WWII veterans and a group of students from the Air Force Academy who had volunteered to act as guardians. And as usual, there were several surprises. As the veterans were just to get off the bus, high school students lined the walkway to applaud the veterans and as we were leaving, a high school band
DC PHOTO BOOK at the Spy Museum!
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. DC PHOTO BOOK holds no tales of covert operations yet, but hopefully in time the […]
Honor Flight Summit 2013
The Honor Flight Summit held at BWI airport this weekend was grand! If you were tasked with finding the nicest people in the United States, using Honor Flight as a filter would certainly bring the cream right to the top. 160 plus hub leaders and volunteers gathered to discuss solutions and issues around moving elderly […]

We are happy to report that the first bound copies of the revised DC PHOTO BOOK have arrived! We’ve spent the last eight months redesigning the DC PHOTO BOOK and are quite delighted with the finished product. The updated book features new spreads on the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Holocaust […]
National Reflecting Pool…?
The National Mall’s fabulous reflecting pool is temporarily “out of order”. After an extensive 34 million dollar renovation, the District and it’s guests were only stunned by its beauty temporarily. Within a few days of the opening, “algae and scum” (see photo below) were reported to be taking over. Ever filled with foreboding that a photo will disappear, I was down to the Memorial on opening day and am delighted I did.
