Photos from Washington D.C. including some of DC’s most iconic locations including the Metro, Washington Monument, Tidal Basin and Cherry Blossom Festival.
Built in 2011 the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial is one of DC’s newest landmarks.
The main structure of this memorial is a 30 foot stone version of MLK titled “Stone of Hope”. The side of the stone contains an excerpt from the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.
“Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.”
The address of the memorial is 1964 Independence Avenue SW, DC which is a nod to the 1964 Civil Rights Act which played an important role in. Read More

When people think of DC they are sure to think about the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.
This long, thin, and shallow pool running between the Lincoln Memorial and the WWII Memorial is hard to miss if you make a visit to DC.
From Martin Luther King’s Iconic “I Have a Dream” speech to Forrest Gump reuniting with Jenny in the water the reflecting pool has seen many historical & cultural events.
There is nothing like viewing a great sunset at the reflecting pool, it creates the perfect framing for many of DC’s monuments.
I’ve travelled to the reflecting pool countless times, here are some of my favorite photos from sunrise and sunset. Read More

One of the best times to visit Washington DC is during the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival to view the peak bloom of cherry blossom trees on the Tidal Basin. With amazing bursts of pink and white the cherry blossom trees create a huge burst of color in the nation’s capital. This year’s Cherry Blossom Festival is March 15 thru April 16, 2017.
It’s difficult to plan a trip around peak bloom since the most accurate predictions are about 10 days before they bloom. I’ve seen many friends come to town and miss the peak bloom by a few days. Read More
Just about a month ago I was at the Haunted White House Tour so I was pleasantly surprised when I was invited back for a Holiday themed tour.
I had the honor of returning to the White House for a second time, this time for a Haunted Tour! (See photos from my first tour)
It was incredible, they had each room in the East Wing filled with someone dressed as a past president or historical figure. All of them told haunted and mysterious White House tales. Read More
The National Gallery of Art invited around 80 influencers to experience their new rooftop on the East Building. I had the honor of previewing the space which is now open to the public. Read More
Thanks to Instagram and IGDC I had the honor of visiting The National Museum of African American History and Culture a week early. There was tons of construction still happening but it was an amazing experience.
Located right next to the Washington Monument on the mall the African American History and Culture Museum is a new highlight of DC’s skyline.
The massive 300,000+ square footage building’s unique shape draws you directly in. It’s mind blowing how many pieces from African American history the museum has collected, plus the building goes deep underground. Read More
I’ve spent years filling my Instagram account (@someguy) with beautiful photos of Washington DC. Including well known spots like the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and the Tidal Basin to less known spots in the city. 
I want to share some of the best places to photograph in DC! I’ve also included some of the best times to visit specific spots.
The fastest way to get around DC is to use the Metro. You can walk to most of the spots listed by heading to the Smithsonian metro stop on the mall. To get around on the mall you can use the Capital Bikeshare but I recommend riding the metro to go to more urban areas.
Here is my list of the best places to take photos in DC:
The Washington Monument from the Tidal Basin
The most iconic and recognizable building in DC is hard not to photograph since it’s DC’s tallest building. From the Tidal Basin, steps of the Lincoln Memorial or standing right next to it, the Washington Monument looks great at all angles.
Plus you can visit the monument 24 hours of the day which makes it a great place to photograph late at night. (Currently tickets to the top are suspended until 2019)
