I captured the below three photographs of my niece, Becky Gelder, posing near the US Capitol on Friday, October 19, 2001. (There were few people hanging around the Capitol and Smithsonian museums, most likely due to the Anthrax scare.) Becky came down from New York for a weekend visit with the Wingett family in Sterling, VA. Becky is in New York for the fall semester on a scholarship internship working at a high-end printer of fine art. When we visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, Becky recognized several artist's works, one of whom she actually had met in New York!

Following Becky's pictures are a few fall scenic I took during a field trip with my photography class.

On Saturday October 20, my co-instructor John and I took our two photography classes on a photo excursion to Meadowlark Gardens Park in Vienna, Virginia. The theme was shooting fall colors. I posed four of the six Fundamentals of 35 mm Photography class students under the backlit canopy of a maple tree. All photos are scanned from 35 mm color negative film (Kodak Royal Gold 200) at maximum resolution TIF files (28 MB), and then reduced to 72 dpi 4x6 inch JPEG images for the Web.
