After spending the day with James & Laura in Baltimore on Saturday, I spent Valentine’s with their good friends Adam & Jordan. We met up a few blocks from the Capitol building, put on some warm hats and headed out for a walking tour of DC. We hit some awesome spots, including the Capitol, Supreme Court, and the local neighborhoods around the area. Of course you can’t be around DC trying to get great shots without the local Jack Bauer coming out to keep things in check. We were at a Federal Building – the Reserve, I think  – and Adam & Jordan are hanging out by the wall, looking good, doing their thing – and I’m, of course, doing my thing with the cameras. I see one of DC’s finest drive by in a car, checking us out. I then see him approaching – and he stops the three of us. Turns out, these building have infrared sensors on the marble walls, and super sensitive motion sensors on the doors. We had set them off and he came out to investigate. He was really cool though, and after the obligatory lecture, we were on our way :).
Even cooler was the great security guard at the Capitol, who gave us 5 minutes to go past the security line onto the steps and take some shots. All in all, we had an awesome time, and got some great shots. I can’t wait for the wedding, where, like with Wes & Krysten (also good friends of Adam & Jordan), we’re going to do a walking tour, or maybe a double deck bus tour, of the DC area after the ceremony. Yup, it’s going to be an awesome 2010!
