Press Conference in Washington, DC by Native Americans to get the Washington Redskins to change their name.

My Muse

     My Muse, which is of course is my husband, Mel. I get plenty of opportunities to get great photos of him doing what he loves to do, make music. 

U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC

Going through my files I found this old photo that I did not take of my husbands Grand father, Mel Hopkins, Sr.   A very handsome man and a very talented portrait photographer in Detroit, MI.  I like restoring old photographs for friends and family.  So if you have any photographs that you would like me to work on and print just let me know!    So go through your parents photo albums and  see what kind of treasures you will find hiding away. 

Washington DC photographer does underwater photography!

You might be surprised to learn that a Washington DC photographer does underwater photography!  Well you can't do underwater photography in the Potomac river. It is way too murky. I took this image of a star fish in the deep in the crystal clear waters of St. John, USVI. I have dozens of great underwater photos for sale at my gallery/store.

Tucker the Pit Bull Rescue Dog

Meet my dog Tucker. I found him at a shelter. He was about to be put down and was one sorry looking boy. He has a sweet personality and is so kind and loving. Not the media image of a Pit Bull at all. Support your local Pit Bull Rescue organization, and end discrimination through education and the responsible rehoming of pit bull type dogs in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, and in your community.

Iconic Portrait: The Father of the Internet wearing Google Glass!

How cool is this? I just had to share. Used my mobile studio with none other than Vint Cerf, legendary Computer Scientist, recognized as one of "the fathers of the Internet". He is wearing Google Glass - a wearable computer with a head-mounted display (HMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. He was such a friendly and engaging person, too. Yes: he let me try out his device! Google Glass is AMAZING.
