nordstrom designer preview.

nordstrom showcased its fall line at the national building museum in dc last week…the designers were great but i focused on the scope of the show…the lights, the music, the colors…fabulous…

in my opinion, michael kors BISON SILVER FOX HAT stole the show.

the bloomberg after party

the bloomberg after party @ the costa rica embassy.
ah, the illusive and exclusive bloomberg after party…this post-white house correspondents’ dinner event has, in the past, boasted a star-studded crowd, featuring the likes of drew barrymore, george clooney, ludacris and others.

this year…sanjaya malakar stole the show.

it wasn’t exactly the celebrity lineup i had hoped for, but as always, i enjoyed shooting a red (or in this case black) carpet event in dc…

plain white t’s @ the 9:30 club

not quite a safari…but a photo opportunity nonetheless…
taking inspiration from my photog friend kyle (check out his sweet pics here) i secured a press pass and shot this band from chicago last friday at the 9:30 club in dc…the plain white t’s…
unfortunately, a press pass only grants front-and-center access for the first three songs, so for about 9 minutes i snapped away with a fast 50mm lens and hoped for the best…

the light show was challenging, but i really like the colors it produced in the images…my fave is the very first of the lead singer solo…also love the glowing screens of cell phones held overhead by the crowd in the last shot…funny how things can change so much, yet essentially remain the same…a combination of technology and the dc smoking ban, but regardless, the band played on…

enjoy!
