Foto Friday: Cold as Ice

Ha ha! Thought I had gone, didn't you? Well you were wrong! I'm still here. Still kind of low on FFs, too. I must send my film off.

Anyway, here is a very old photo, scanned from print, since I don't know where the negatives have gotten to.

Lincoln Memorial, Jan. 1990

It's hot here, so I thought I'd choose a nice, cool image to look at it. Tomorrow night I will be freezing. Maybe I should have posted a hot image as well. Next week, perhaps.

I was in D.C. for a conference. That was the time that Dan Quayle addressed our group. I was going to write about it, but I see that I already have. Well, that was easy.

This photo reminds me of a painting, but I can't think which one. Maybe by Michael Whelan. (WARNING! Long pretentious -- yet minimalist -- flash opening there. Really cool, but it tries the patience. I guess if you're not willing to wait for it, you don't deserve to look at Whelan's art.)
