Lucky Bamboo


I like this photo because of the shadows that are created not only by my lucky bamboo plant but by the microwave and fridge. Another thing to point out is the single black stone, located near the stem of the plants, in the glass vase. I think it adds contrasting element to the photo as well.

At the Computer


So yeah. I don't know what to post today as I just got out of a meeting and grabbed dinner at Subway. Here I just took a picture of my computer as I am logged into my gmail and stacks of people's applications that I have to read/look over. As a former Orientation Advisor and as a graduating senior, I was chosen/asked to be a part of the Selection Committee. As a member of this committee I have to read applications and interview future members of the OA staff.

Wintery Evening


One of the trees nearby the Pryz look lonely and bare as the snow fell all around it. I have to admit it was difficult to keep the camera still as it was freezing and I had no gloves.

View Point from McDonald Hall



This is what I can see from my dorm hall, McDonald. You can see the Kane Fitness Center with Flather and Ryan Halls in the foreground. Behind Flather you can start to see the skeleton of the new dorm hall, Opus. Every day, the view changes as the construction goes on further.

Architecture in Dupont Circle




I was walking around Dupont Circle today and I saw this building that mimicked the architectural style of Daniel Burnham. I tried to get a closer picture of the detailed design of the facade and I was impressed how the architect of this building put a modern twist on an "ancient" architecture style. It was as if the original building, which can be found in Chicago, was transported to DC.

The Pryz




I was on my way to lunch and I decided to take a picture of the Pryz. Although it's not a place for appetizing meals, I have to admit that architecturally, it's a beautiful building (from the outside). What I like about it is the fact that it is mainly made up of glass and steel beams. It's as if it is completely light and airless.

Meet Capitol Ted



I decided to take a photo of my teddy bear, that my boyfriend made for me. We named it Capitol Ted because first, I love Capitol Hill and being an intern, it was fitting and second, the name of Ted comes from Patrick's dog, Teddy. The reason why it's wearing Shamrock boxers is because my boyfriend is Irish. The first shot I took of it from afar and the second, I tried to focused in closer to show the texture of the "fur".
