Fenty At Broad Branch Market
09/04/10 With just ten days remaining until the DC Democratic Primary, Mayor Adrian Fenty made an early morning campaign stop at the Broad Branch Market in Ward 4. After a short speech, he led the crowd to the nearby Chevy Chase Community Center polling place. Early voting began last week and the Fenty organization hopes to use it to score a come from behind victory when the votes are counted on Primary Day.

Scanner-ography 1: Purple Flowers
09/04/10 There’s a weed with purple flowers growing in my backyard. I picked a bunch and put them on my flatbed scanner with a shoebox covering them to make this image. I met a photographer a few years ago who “shoots” with her scanner, not a camera . She has a spectacular portfolio of flowers and she taught me the shoebox trick.
