The little time that we had to see the city, I really liked it. Except for the alien type bug that is from another planet. Every 17 years these bugs come up from the ground to breed. There are millions of them around. The noise is increbile and you would think it was a mating call from a alien species.

Here are some pics, but I didn't do as much photography as I would've liked. These are quick edits, with some playing around with the b&w. All photos taken with the 10D with 16-35.

The Washington Monument is really cool in B&W. And the full-color roses in the Lincoln Memorial shot is an awesome touch. It's the little details that count. Of course, the shot of the boy with the sunglasses is great. He looks like he was having a good time. Glad to got a chance to visit with you friend.

Alien bugs, huh? :-) I'm surprised they haven't come out here yet. And it's killing me that I can't remember their name! It'll probably come to me about 2 am tonight.
