DanB calls my bluff...

... little did he know, it was only a semi-bluff :D

(Dan's travelling the East Coast, and was gracious enough to pay DC and myself a visit; we shot the monument area for most of the evening this past Monday)

Whilst climbing and contorting himself about the Lincoln Memorial to get some unique photographic angles, Dan got noticed by a handful of nice young phillies from California. We then made our way to the Korean War Memorial...

here's Dan chimping away and looking cool:

here's Dan being distracted by the local fauna:
73937078-L.jpg


here's Dan once again being oblivious to his surroundings:
73936697-L.jpg


and here's Dan's biggest fans, casually approaching the oblivious Dan: (take particular care noticing the youngin' in the pale green shirt, she was particularly interested in seeing Dan :wink)

but did Dan say "hi"? no, he was toooooo busy... boo Dan, boo... boo... boo

    Dan looking decidedly less cool while being attacked by VERY small bugs:

    RUN AWAY! (this is not a deadly-killer bunny rabbit, these are not even deadly-killer gnats, just plain gnats...oh boy)

    and they don't bite:

    you can run, but you can't escape:

    I'm going to be in DC Saturday, and after seing these pictures of poor Dan, there is no way I'm stopping by.:nah I'd be more interested in shooting the nocturnal fauna away from the tourist traps anyway.

    Besides I got a 50 dollar parking ticket on Memorial day weekend at the Jefferson Memorial. Woe to the photographer who believes a Limo driver who says "Don't worry I won't let them give you a ticket" thumb.gif

    I guess it was worth it for them, but for me, just another day in paradise.

    Sorry to hear that... I'm guessing if you asked Dan he'd say the razzing was worth it. I always enjoy playing host to a friendly guest(s), so let me know if you'd like to meet up; I promise, no touristy stops and a good time :):.

    Of course, if you've got Saturday planned I understand, but if not, I'll get you to the hot spot (with or without me; I can always offer advice on where to be).

    Ahhh don't worry dean. I have just been uber busy. Thinking this week or this weekend I will get to them. Though the ones in the car are actually kinda blurry (bob we gotta work on you keeping the shutter speed up), they will still get posted. :D
