Candid Captures

Over the years I have visited Washington, DC several times. I remember the first visit, my oldest son was not much more than 1 or 2 years old. In fact, if after I post this I can find an early pictures I just thought of, I'll post it.

Well anyway, each time I go there I always take my camera. Some of the early shot were your standard Lincoln Memorial, White House and a zillion other shots taken in the many museums.

Well the last two trips, May of 2008 and 2009 I made it my goal to take pictures that are very different from what I would normally take. Although last year was a awesome getaway to our countries capitol, it was a trip I did alone. This year was much more special! This year I took my oldest son Ryan who graduated High School this year. The very one I took on my first trip.

Ryan and I had such a blast together. Not only did we take a bunch of traditional tourist shots, I have many very unique ones that I will cherish for years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Right: Ryan doing his "Freedom Jump". I actually have two versions of this shot, one with people in the background, the other with out. Personally, I prefer this one.

Below: Ryan and I did a ton of walking on this trip. Museums and monuments galore. But the most relaxing night was going to the Capitol stairs to take in a concert. The sunset was just amazing.
