Today was a quiet day, as most Fridays are. I made it to 13 of the 14 hearings I was scheduled to be at this week. Unfortunately, the congressmen didn't have as good of an attendance record so I will be coordinating with all of their press secretaries to ensure I get photos of them this upcoming week. I was able to get photos of five or six representatives, so it wasn't a total waste of time.
I didn't get this post finished on Friday so I'll pick up with the events of the weekend and Monday. This weekend was probably the hottest I've experienced in DC yet. I don't believe the weather channel for a second, the humidity level had to have been higher than 40% because it was just unbearable. I stayed inside as much as possible, but I did venture out to see Madeline Albright's collection of pins at Smithsonian Castle. It was so interesting and would encourage anyone to go that is in town. Albright used brooches and pins that she wore on her jacket to express her mood for that day. Feel free to approach her is she is wearing a flower or butterfly, but if she's wearing a snake you may want to think twice. Every pin is so unique and different and her collection comes from all around the world. I spent the rest of the weekend resting in preparation for two friends from Berry to come visit. I have a marathon planned for them over a long weekend so it should be a lot of fun to show them around town.
Today was pretty calm. I started my day at the White House with a statement by the president in the Rose Garden. I hadn't been to one yet this summer so it was a good experience to have and offered a different setting to photograph the president.
Coming up this week is my continued efforts to photograph the members of the Texas delegation, an event with Vice President Biden (haven't seen him yet this summer), and a joint press conference with President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron on his first visit to the U.S. as prime minister. Should be a good week.
BRING IT ON.
