Washington DC Documentary Photographer | DC Photowalk

I went on an adventure with some fellow photogs while stretching my legs as a Washington DC documentary photographer in the museums and on the mean streets of DC.
national museum of natural history 1We started the day in the National Museum of Natural History. It was dark and flash is not allowed, but I loved the challenge. Thankfully, even though it’s dark there are many sources of light from the exhibits. You just have to be patient which is a good practice for me since I’ve totally failed at wildlife photography. Too much sitting and waiting. I crave action! 🙂

This was actually a lot of fun. It had been a long time since I just went out for shits and giggles, and photographed whatever I pleased. Glad I made the hike, and glad that Amber put the photowalk together! She has a website in the works to organize more of these, and since I love going into DC, it’s a good excuse to take the day and create. DC makes my heart go pitter-patter!national museum of natural history 2My first stop was the marine exhibits. I was immediately drawn to the big blue wall.
