    Some photos from snowmageddon, which continues even as I post. This is definitely the most snow I have seen in a long time (possibly ever). It is beautiful, especially with such incredible landmarks in the background.

    A few weeks ago I shot my first real set of engagement photos for some friends of mine, Caitlin and Alex, who are getting married in November. We decided to shoot around the Capitol and Supreme Court (2nd St. NE) first and try to get some good shots with some classic DC backgrounds. It rained the whole day but started to clear up right before we went out — about 5:30. We ended up with some really beautiful evening light. They looked great and we had a lot of fun. I mostly used a 50mm lens with an aperture of 1.8 and an off-camera flash when it was needed. It was a really positive experience and I’m looking forward to doing more of it in the future.

    Here are some photos from my trip to Colorado over Labor Day weekend. I went up to Breckenridge, the El Dorado State Canyon, Red Rocks and Denver. The scenery was incredible.

    Early this year (Jan. 29-Feb. 11), I went to India with Whitney. We traveled to Mumbai, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, New Delhi, Agra, Rishikesh and Haridwar. It was a whirlwind trip, but totally amazing. Our good friend from college, Samkit Shah, who is from Mumbai, traveled with us and helped us find all the best deals and interesting places. It was so fun to see him and to see such an incredible place. Here are some photographs from the trip.

    A couple of weeks ago I saw the Avett Brothers up at Artscape in Baltimore, where someone got creative with the panoramic. It took me about 10 minutes to locate myself, but the concept and execution are really good and there are a ton of interactive images to look at.
