Today went to photograph the aircraft coming in and out and around Washington National (DCA).

Highlight was photographing one of the helicopters that they use to fly the president and VP. Later in the day the same chopper flew right over my head, but my camera was packed and I totally missed it. Alas. The rest are here:

Lena, my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 and I went to the National Zoo on Saturday. Sunday we went to Ikea (minus the Nikkor that time). There were children everywhere on both days. Lena liked seeing the cats.

back to dc 2d

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 01:20:00 GMT

Last time I was in DC I took my 3DS to experiment with its 3D camera, and I had fund, but when I saw the jets flying low past the lincoln memorial I sort of wished I had my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 with me. Today I went down to photograph the jets coming in for a landing at Reagan National Airport. Normal people have normal hobbies. I also took some photographs of other things, which is what i am posting here.

washington is all column and no row

Whenever game devs get fancy new 3d hardware to work with they re-relase the same tired software titles in 3d and slap “3d” on the end. Here is my homage to that. I spent the day walking around the city taking photos with my 3DS. I call the results: Washington 3D of course. If you have the proper 3d glasses and software you can download the .mpo file and see these in 3d. Otherwise you'll have to cross your eyes.

Just after finishing up my entries on our road trip across three states in order to see probably my favourite fiction author, I saw someone had posted to one of those communities that I had subscribed to years ago and forgotten about because nobody ever posted to them anymore, a note about Sarah Vowell's (probably my favourite non-fiction author) new book coming out this week, and my immediate two thoughts were:

I wonder if she's going to be on the Daily Show this week and
I wonder if her book tour will take her to Washington?

A book author will do all the media she can when releasing a book so I guess this is not surprising. Vowell mostly reads her own audio books and then gets a cast of famous vocal talent to read the quotes of historical figures and museum curators that she runs across, and there is almost always one or two people from The Daily Show or The Colbert Report in the cast, so there is obviously a bit of rapport going on there. The efforts she puts into her audio books is the reason that I listen to them instead of reading her books. It almost feels like I am still listening to her on This American Life.

This was the microwave in our room the night we stayed in North Carolina. It has dials and everything.
