So I’ve slowly been collecting photos of great roadside signs with my Rolli.
I’m talking about the unique signs for an old motel or ice cream shop that you find on a back road or small highway. They’re mostly old, from another era, but there is something uniquely charming about a one-of-a-kind sign. I’ll be collecting these on my travels and publishing them here. If you know of a sign that fits this description, please let me know. I’d love to see it.

Last night I presented and defended my thesis in front of the faculty of George Washington University's New Media Photojournalism Program. It was the culmination of over a year of hard work, with the support of my professors, fellow students and close friends and family.
There will be an opening for myself and other Corcoran School of Arts and Design students on Thursday, April 26th at 6:30 at the Corcoran School on 17th and E St NW, in Washington, DC.
I encourage you to come see all the great work by my fellow photojournalists and artists. It will be on display through the month of May.
So as you can see in my self portrait that accompanies this blog and in my post from January 19th. I was gifted a 1957 Rolleiflex 2.8D. I've been wanting to take some portraits with it and share them with you so here are a few.

On Friday, I was able to photograph an event in support of the DREAM Act just as the Senate was about to shut down.
In addition, on the one year anniversary of Donald Trump's inauguration, thousands gathered on Saturday for the Women's March on Washington. Here are a few quick hits from that.
I opened the box and was floored. This was medium format. I didn't even know where to buy 120 film. I was so excited I loaded my first roll incorrectly and blew out all but two exposures.

I'll be posting here on Thursdays or Fridays. Trying to keep you updated on this journey.
Here we go!
