William Shakespeare's birthday party at the Folger Library

I again had the pleasure and honor of photographing the annual birthday party for the Bard of Avon at the Folger Shakespeare Library in DC.

Thanks to all of the Folger staff, and a big shout out to Garland Scott for the assignment.

Shakespeare in the classroom- Folger Theater at Randle Highlands Elementary

I recently completed an assignment documenting master teaching artist Khaleshia Thorpe-Price for the Folger Shakespeare Library, working with students at Ms. Frizzell's third-grade language arts class at Randle Highlands Elementary School in the Anacostia section of Washington DC.

Great kids, great program.

Thanks to all the kids, the teachers, and to Garland Scott and Danielle Drakes of the Folger.

We are the world

This group came together pretty much naturally. I love Northern Virginia for this reason.

Duckboat - Jelly Roll Mortals CD

I recently got my copy of the new limited-edition Jelly Roll Mortals CD,"Duckboat." Great all-original stuff by Scott McKnight, Arch Alcantara, Kentucky Jim Faris, Bill Williams, and Steve Woehrle. These guys brew up a fine musical offering; well-crafted, thoughtful, with mighty tasty instrumental work and vocal harmonies. DC rock 'n roll royalty. (and I did the photo of them on the back cover). Enjoy.
