Morning of the Solstice.

The Washington Post contacted me asking if I would take some photos of the Winter Solstice for them… here are a couple of the shots. Kind of exciting though almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. 2 lenses went kaput, camera wouldn’t turn on consistently and the amount of coffee required to get me out of bed at 6:30am had some negative side effects. Many thanks to mikeontheinternets for letting me borrow his 8mm fisheye, which along w/ the simplistic, but always reliable, 50mm 1.8 saved the day. The following photos appeared on WashingtonPost.com
