Opening Day in Washington



Flooding out of Metro

I tried something a little different with my Opening Day photos: instead of simply exporting from iPhoto to static pages on BTN, I’ve opened an account at Flickr. So clicky to check them out; you can wander through individually or even view as a slideshow.

The event itself was pretty good — no major disturbances, nothing particularly unusual. The president was mostly cheered, though there were some boos that made the people cheering get louder. Photographically, the lesson of the evening was that 4x digital zoom is simply not enough from all the way down the left field line; fortunately, my usual seats are above first base. Metro was indeed a madhouse, particularly postgame, but driving would have been far worse.

The nice part is that I have tickets for 20 more regular-season games.

They're Here


My time is tracked, my computer is locked, and it’s time for something new and different…

I’m just minutes from Dunn Loring Metro, the Orange Line and RFK — pictures and full report postgame. GO NATS!
