Making things look better...

Some photoshop work to improve images....

Condoleezza Rice

Here are 2 shots from a hearing with Condoleezza Rice. Initially I liked the black and white better, but after some work on the color ones I'm not so sure which one I like the best.

Barack Obama

Here are a few shots of Obama I took today at the hearing he attended with General Petraeus testifying. The 2 at the bottom were taken with a 300mm lens, it was the first time I had ever used something like that. I like the top one a lot, with his name tag in front. It gives a little more interest to the surroundings then the tight ones, but the tight ones also portray a lot of emotion.

Botanical Garden

I went to the botanical garden this past weekend. Here is a shot from there. I am currently having issues uploading pictures so I can only get one up.

Cleaning at the Capital

Some Capital employees cleaning a painting in the Rotunda.

Tibet Rally

These are a few shots from a Tibet rally I was at on Monday. I think they show 3 different sides to the rally.
