Pittsburgh, 'n'at

Tomorrow, I'm leaving my familiar skyline in DC (not that I can see much of it from my apartment window) for some new sights in Sewickley, PA (a suburb of Pittsburgh)

And this will be my first road trip in my first car too! I'm heading for a refreshing weekend, overall. Here's the Google map of my travel path, for those whose interests are cartography and all things Google.

Double Exposure

One of my roommates has been talking about taking up photography as a hobby. I've been inspired in response to start to organize my own photos and memories from my time at American and start to be more serious about making photo art.

This is a double exposure picture that I created ever so easily through Picasa -- an image of me from a night on the town in DC about a year ago fused with a picture I took at the Washington Monument a few weeks ago.

I have a feeling this will be the quintessential image of me from my DC years, however long they may last.

Frivolous FDR Fun!

Whitney, Laura, and I went to the monuments tonight!I don't care how long I've lived here, I think I will always love DC culture & touristy history. There's something to be said about not losing the wonder of this place in the potential for cynicism caused by working here.
