Today, Paris

One more place in the world where I could use my little but very powerful Fisheye and a 400 ASA film. It was my first time in Paris but I won't put any picture of the Eiffel tower, basically because I didn't take any. I took these ones instead:

That counter just hit 1000

I have 1000 visits to talk about, a number I am proud of and that I totally owe to my fans (you know who you are). It's been several years, and a higher number of posts than I expected, given how lazy I am.

But let's be frank, there's a world out there designed to share and look at pictures, which is more user friendly than a blog. So, it's about time I start using flickr, and if someone wants to see the whole lot, here is the link:

and the coolest pictures will still make it to Fotografia de Paso.

Health Care Day

Today I went to Capitol Hill to see what was up. As a matter of fact, a lot was going on. The March for America was on the Mall and walking up, and on the other side, Health Care Reform protesters (both for and against) had gathered for a little #angrymobbing. Here's what I took with my Fuji Finepix.

As of now, the hcr debate is not over, but it looks like the bill will pass. If you have any interest, Egocrata is doing a good coverage in spanish, and Ezra Klein would be a good option if you prefer english.

The big building

Better than a stairway

So, apart from snowstorms, there is life in D.C. This are two pictures taken in the escalators to the Metro with my fisheye. It takes about two minutes and a half to climb, up or down, the whole thing if you don't walk.

Snowmaggedon

Some pictures of the aftermath of the historic snowstorm that hit Washington D.C. between the 5th and the 6th of February. Coming up, I'll add some taken with the Fisheye and the Holga, if I can find where to develop 120 mm film in this city.
