Got a haircut yesterday. Before going out to the barber, I set up the tripod and took a photo of myself in the living room with my messy locks, then, making sure nothing moved, took a photo again immediately on my return. The light did change a bit, however, so it took a small bit of selective masking in Photoshop to get things right:

Pandora is on the carpet, staring intently into your soul.

What is this construction thing called? It looks like a mini wrecking ball with a giant clip sticking out of it, all attached to a crane.

*Gasp* Is that David LaGesse of Dave’s Download, doing interviews with passersby at a Georgetown street corner?
Just a few snapshots I took Monday and Tuesday morning walking between Foggy Bottom and Georgetown. I was so struck by the contrast between blue sky and retreating rain clouds over the Potomac River that I had to snap a panorama yesterday morning. The broken pumpkin in the canal could have been a nicer shot, too, if I had better zoom. Or wading boots.
And yeah, I’m liking this camera a lot.

After church yesterday, Amy and I went over to the Old Patent Office Building to wander around the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. We looked at Asher B. Durand’s American landscapes and portraits of key Spanish figures in the American Revolution, wandered down the Great Hall, and peered through the windows at the soon-to-be-opened Kogod Courtyard. Some photos:
