If you can tell, this is the Jefferson memorial. Really, it is the reflection of the memorial in the tidal basin. I took this late night photo of the whole memorial on Monday night. I steadied the camera on the guard rail of a bridge to get a crisp shot. Then after I looked at it, i decided that the reflection was more interesting than the actual memorial.
OK I have never been one to gawk at the cuteness of a Panda (I usually prefer the other zoo animals) but this is kina cool. On a very quiet day at the National Zoo, it was just me and this guy having lunch.
If you are in the Washington DC area come by and catch this production of Two Gents. We are playing through March 4. Hope to see you there. More information can be found here. I am having a great time in DC and the cast is a whole lotta fun. You should check it out.

he may not be too long for this world
Hey I got some new photos done! The fullsize ones are on the Photos page.
Thanks again to fellow Brooklynite photographer Deborah Lopez. She is good people.
So… this is what i look like.
When we were in Iceland last year we took a side trip to Húsavík, a small fishing village in the northern part of the country. Húsavík wasn’t really on our itinerary but we stopped there to get something to eat and stretch our legs. We just happened to be there during Mærudagar (candy days, or sweet days). The festival lasts a couple of days, and it is like a street fair that specializes in brightly colored candy that takes place in in the Harbor over the weekend.
For some reason each neighborhood is designated a different bright florescent color — bright green, or pink, or yellow ..etc. And it seemed that young girls would dress in that color for the festival.
I don’t really know where the festival comes from, or why the neighborhoods were designated different colors … we just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
One morning, when I was in Chicago, I woke up at 3 AM. It was one of those “crap… now I’ll never get back to sleep” sort of ways of waking up. Since there was no hope for me getting back to sleep, I decided to go out to Lincoln Park and get some sunrise shots. It was cooooold that morning. I think the temperature was 7 degrees. A few days before there was a crazy ice storm that hit Chicago. I have a bunch in the series but this one is one of my favorites.
The first professional job I had when I got out of graduate school was at Berkeley Rep. My friend John gave me this little girl’s Care Bears charm chain as a joke. It originally had a couple of Care Bear charms with space to “collect them all”.
This is the only thing that I always have in my dressing room when I do a show. It has either a small piece of a costume or the label tag from every production I’ve done since graduate school.
I kept the green bear for luck.
