One of the tiger cubs at the zoo plays with a barrel. I'm not so sure you can still call them cubs.

Tai Shan is the zoo's 5 month old panda cub. He still basically a lump of fur, but cute.

Since I'm sure people will be interested, you can get info on viewing Tai Shan at the zoo's home page. Unfortunately, it looks like all the tickets are booked through Jan 2, but they seem to be trying to organize more times.

I've really been travelling a lot lately, and haven't had nearly enough time to take photos when I'm at home. Maybe I should change the name of the blog...

I recently had the opportunity to tag along to Richmond for a weekend seminar hosted by the Center for Civil War Photography, an organization dedicated to the preservation and study of Civil War era photography (as the name might suggest).

Here, Garry Adelman, the organization's vice-president, gives us an overview of the Richmond area and some of the 1860s-era photos. We're standing on Libby Hill, overlooking Richmond's Main Street. Garry is holding a photo taken in the 1860s from the same spot.

Saat Rasta is the largest of Mumbai's traditional Dhobi Ghats, which are large open air laundries run by families who pick up your clothes, wash them and return them. Each family rents one of the cells from the city.

Just returned from two weeks in India. I'll spend a while taking advantage of my promise to post photos from "the occasional trip outside the area."

This statue of Ganesha can be found in the Prince of Wales museum in Mumbai.

We spent the weekend at Sharp Rock Winery in Sperryville, VA, so I'll be posting some photos from that over the next few days. It was a good chance to try out some different techniques than what you normally get to use in the city. I especially need to work on my landscapes, but I think a few will come out okay.

It was in the 90s earlier this week, with a heat index over 100. That's gross, even for DC in August.

Sometimes you just want to sit on a bench and let the photos come to you. So I did. And it actually worked out pretty well.

Ft. Stevens, where on July 11-12, 1864, Union soldiers fended off the only major Confederate assault on the capital.

On July 12, Abraham Lincoln stood on the parapet to watch the battle, becoming the only serving President to come under enemy fire. According to legend, Captain Oliver Wendell Holmes shouted at the President, "Get down you damn fool."

The view looks quite different today. The fort is a part of Rock Creek Park.

Every once in a while you can find deer wandering around the National Zoo. For example, this guy was eating the bushes right next to the bald eagles. I always imagine the other animals must be jealous.

In case no one else has ever made it all the way up the hill to all the birds at the National Zoo, after living next to it for a year I finally figured out that it is worth it. It's relaxing, not very crowded and there was a nice breeze to cut a bit of the DC heat.
