Longest. Day. Ever.

Last day of the meeting.  My poster presentation (went really well!).  Flight home.  Exhausted.

DC was great, the meeting was great!  There was something very exhilarating and refreshing about this meeting and about being away from my everyday reality for a few days.  It was fun to see old friends and meet new people.  

But it is always great to make it back to the comfort of home.  

And a certain faucet-drinking cat was pretty excited to see me!!  :)

A long lunch break from the meeting is enough time to quickly walk around some of the DC monuments. I love the monuments and was excited to see the new MLK one.

This is the view of the Thomas Jefferson monument from the MLK monument.  It just looks surreal, doesn't it?  I like this shot.

One of my favorite MLK quotes...

Got several other great pics today too (and of course, the meeting was good!).  Probably will do a DC post later on.

More DC.  More meeting.  All good stuff.  

Today, we stumbled upon these funny little bug things in a garden.  More weird than cute really.  

And then a photo shoot with a motel room key... Yep, there are places out there that still have keys like this!  They are motor inn motel type places - sketch.  Who knows why my buddy Bryan picked this place for his hotel but it definitely makes for good stories!

Swanson Lab party - past and present.  Kicked off with happy hour in a hotel room.  

This is how it is done.

Fun!

Day 28 - My 365, How do you measure a year?

Day 28:
Saturday, November 12, 2011

I'm in DC, a city I absolutely love!  I'm here for a work conference and so far it has been good.  Good to learn.  Good to see some old friends.  Good to think and plan for the future.

I haven't felt like lugging my super heavy camera around the meeting all day because I've been lugging my super heavy laptop.  That leaves boring pictures.  Maybe tomorrow, I'll leave the laptop in favor of the camera and then sneak away to see a few sites.

This room is really small.  Cute, but small.  At least I have a swipe key (haha, my friend is in a cheap hotel in the city with a key on a keychain)!

My view... wish it was warm enough to get in the pool!

One of the intentions of this project is to practice photography.  Get better.  Think outside the box, push the limit, look at things from new points of view.

Sometimes though, it's just a documentation of my life it seems.

Either way, time is flying.  I can't believe I'm four weeks in.  Who knows where the rest of this year will take me.  The possibilities are exciting!
