happy birthday…to me!

loving this image my awesome friend MK sent me this morning, and therefore deem it worthy of being my happy birthday image for this silly post :)

its a lovely 60 degree day in dc and i plan on enjoying it! it’s already been a great morning – i enjoyed the sunday paper and a chai latte as well as the countless emails, facebook messages and phone calls from my awesome family + friends – thank you! i’m getting ready to do a little *fun* shopping in georgetown, swing by the national gallery of art, maybe snap some photos of the city, and then prepare for an incredible dinner at citronelle – YAY!

it’s funny how we don’t get as excited about or birthdays as we get older…especially when there aren’t any traditional milestones to look forward to…but as much as i’ve “complained” about turning 28 i am really excited about all the big plans i have for this year particularly with blonde photo, llc and i’m so grateful for the 28 years of life and experience that i’ve had so far – i should be so lucky to have many more ahead of me.

interesting fact: i was born 3.3.80 at 3:38 am – and today its 3.3.08 – that’s got to be extra special, no?

mayflower spring gala.

saturday night the mayflower foundation threw its spring gala at the university club. it was a fantastic evening, dc’s young professionals rallied once again for a great cause: the youth leadership foundation. killer 80’s pop/rock band judo chop rocked the crowd and kept the dancefloor crazy…spectacular showing.

enjoy!

nationals park.

dc’s new stadium – nationals park – is almost completed! with opening day just 5 weeks away, construction is still under way as the stadium readies itself for a “green” season. with a goal of reaching LEED certification, nationals park will be the first professional ballpark in the country to be recognized as “going green.” i had the privilege of touring the stadium yesterday with a team of architects and a reporter from green products and technology magazine. i was mainly photographing the green elements of the stadium, but also got a few fun shots as well…it was very cool standing on the field and looking at all the empty seats, just sitting there waiting for the fans. from the stadium, spectators have awesome views of the capitol and monuments, making a day at the park a true dc experience. we toured the entire stadium from the “cheap seats” at the very top to the team locker room. everything looks fantastic and i can’t wait to go to a game this year!

sven kamm: sundance 2008.

i had the absolute pleasure of meeting the very talented filmmaker sven kamm in park city last month at the sundance festival. furthermore, i got to photograph him one bright, snowy afternoon at the sundance house…the goldenhead team and crew were working hard to promote kamm’s newest film GO HOME POGUE MAHON – a dying arts production + goldenhead project.
