I meant to post this before the previous one (the one with all the National Geographic magazine covers) because it was taken first. Since I am ignoring the other time based rules like taking a photo every day or at least 7 every week, I might as well ignore chronological order too. Anyway, this is the National Geographic building. Fun Fact: Their headquarters used to be right next to my neighborhood in Gaithersburg, MD. I'm not sure if that building has also shown up here, but if not, I suspect it will someday.

In case you've not figured it out, I was at the National Geographic building. The reason I was there was for a seminar on Adventure Travel Photography. It wasn't much of an adventure, and I only had to travel to exact same Metro stop I use to get to work. Even so, I brought my camera because that is what photographers do. The last few pictures are a result of this.

The seminar itself was very good at reinforcing things I know or once did, plus I learned some new tips too. More than anything it was inspiring to see the great shots taken by Michael Clark and Nevada Weir, and to hear the stories about how they got them. #jealous
