Blagden

      I have a client that is selling an 8 bedroom house, with 7 bathrooms off of Blagden st in NW D.C. This is a massive house with a fire place in the living and an AMAZING kitchen!!! The property was still being staged, so most of the rooms weren't finished. I scouted out the property and took plenty of shots to play with and try different techniques and editing methods. It's a process, but yet very fun. I will have more to come soon! Oh has timed escaped me, its already mid night. I hope you enjoy!

Wacky Weather

     The weather this week in DC, has been crazy, its been hot, cold, cloudy, and or raining we have not had a day of just pure blue Sky's for a while in DC. I have been waiting to photograph this place on a sunny day, but that has yet to come. I hope to be able to return later this week and capture the lovely view over looking DC.  
     The lovely condo that I had the pleasure of photographing was furnished! I love taking photos of interiors that have been staged. This one was the owners own furnishings and this man had taste! His whole apartment was very airy and open. It had a lot of stairs, but it had this cozy vibe to it.
               Since it's Sunday and I am off from my day job, I wanted some time to catch up on photo editing and researching things online. I have been watching storm chasers and other movies/ documentaries on Netflix. Did you know that in 1812 when the British were burning down DC, a tornado put out the flames with wind and rain. Also killing British soldiers in its path. Also I did some researching about how many tornadoes have hit dc and there has only been about 11 over the past 50 years. I also found out that there has been dozens of earthquakes in DC over the past 50 years. Most of those earthquakes have happened since the big one we had last summer. I find the power of mother nature to be magnificently beautiful.

River East

     Also yesterday, while I was on my photo adventures. I had the opportunity to photograph a rental in a newly built condominium in the River East Community of DC. The rental is a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath unit. I love the entry level, which has a lot of windows, and the whole level is open in one big room, which has the living room, the kitchen, and dining space. I have been living in a studio for about two years now, I love seeing open spaces like these because it gives you a variety of options for furniture placements. Later today I will be taking photos of a roof deck in that community, be on the look out for those! 




            Here is the view from one of the bedrooms, its kind of a crappy view, but it gives the opportunity for a lot of possibilities. Other owners have painted murals in this space, that would be so cool!












2 bedroom in Randolph Towers

  Here is the promised 2 bedroom photo's of Randolph Towers. I like the studio photo's better because of the colorful walls, but this unit is much bigger and has built-in shelving on the walls  in the bedroom's, which I love! 








        There is something haunting about photographing empty units, its just a feeling as if something is missing. but it also allows the mind to see all the possibilities, of inhabiting the space. One of my friends recently found a new apartment that she is moving into next week. She was soo excited about the space, that she wanted me to go see it with her. As a person who goes into units for there job, it kind of looses a bit of the joy of seeing a new space. Due to my friends excitement, it made me excited for her, and I helped her brain storm, the layout of her furniture. I remember doing the same thing, when I moved into my current apartment. Do you think its strange to measure your new apartment before moving in and drawing up a lay out so you can plan the placement of your furniture before moving?
