Independence Day


As I said in yesterday’s blog post, I recently had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. with my family.  It was an amazing trip that left me filled with a sense of patriotism and pride.  I thought today, our nation’s celebrated day of independence, was a fitting time to post of few of my photographs.

  1. Some really great photos. I especially love the Smithsonian woman and the few after that. If you are a match for our site, we would love for you to submit any of these or other photographs. We would post them with a blurb about you and the photo and a link back here. Happy shooting.
