Photos from Washington D.C. including some of DC’s most iconic locations including the Metro, Washington Monument, US Capitol, Tidal Basin and Cherry Blossom Festival.
Here is my list of the best places to take photos in DC.
The latest art exhibit to be feature at the Smithsonian’s American Art Museum (SAAM) in 2018 is Do Ho Suh’s Almost Home. If you’re in Chinatown it’s worth checking out the SAAM and some of my other favorite places to photograph in DC.
Do Ho Suh is known for his immersive architectural installations crafted with ethereal fabric and this exhibit does not disappoint.
The Library of Congress which is located right next to the US Capitol is a beautiful sight.
I have passed the Library of Congress tons of times without realizing you could go inside.
The Library of Congress is the largest library in the United States containing more than 38 million books. With parts of the collection spanning over 430 languages.
Summer is a great time to visit the Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens. The gardens are located just off Kenilworth Avenue in Northeast DC. It’s just a short drive from downtown, so prepare to drive or take an Uber.
You’ll see plenty of insects and wildlife, including dragonflies, turtles, herons and ducks.
The Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens are famous for their Lotus flowers which usually reach peak bloom in July. Read More
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 to 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 20 thru April 15, 2018.
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
