Photos from Washington, D.C. Trip

Here are a few of my Nikon photos from my Washington, D.C. trip. I started with the Lincoln Memorial and worked my way down to the U.S. Capital building. I spend almost a whole day at Arlington National Cemetery, which opens at 8 a.m.

My Holga film is currently being developed. I should have those back and scanned next week. I hope you enjoy these shots. Cheers.

New Camera Bag

I’m in the process of packing for my trips to Kansas City and Washington, D. C. I purchased a new bag from Competitive Cameras in Dallas. It’s a LowePro Nova 200. It has room for my Nikon plus four Holgas and lots of film. I only wish I had a compact tripod.
