Pre-Inauguration Pictures









On the chilly Wednesday evening before Inauguration, I circled in front of the Capitol and around on Third Street to capture the city's preparations. The roads were repaved down Independence Avenue with beautiful red brick painted at the cross walks. Brown chairs littered the Capitol lawn. The Capitol boasted a facelift - the newly built platform where the swearing in would take place - made of wood but acting like white marble. Fences and more fences told of the swarms to come. Restaurants like Chef Spike's Good Stuff Eatery displayed signs with Obama themed foods. And most eye-catching were the hundreds of port-au-potties that lined the mall like a fence. These would later be popular seats for Inauguration revelers. But for now it all stood cold and empty.

What Shape is This?

Transitions for Change!

Washington D.C. is under construction for the Inauguration. Today the practice occurred. Streets closed and military bands marched. I will take some pictures of the staging area pre-crowds so you can experience the transition, too.

Universe Speaks

Do you ever feel like the universe is driving your life trajectory and you're just along for the ride? I encourage the universe with what I think I want but somehow it brings me to a place I didn't know I wanted but do. Well, I'm not sure where the universe is going to bring me in 2009 but I sure am excited to find out.
