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.

More of such photos can be found here

he may not be too long for this world

Thanks again to fellow Brooklynite photographer Deborah Lopez. She is good people.

So… this is what i look like.

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.

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.
