Howdy! I have tried to do the reverse of what I usually do. Instead of drawing from pictures I have used my eye and the camera to capture the pictures I want to draw or paint! I used to spend a lot of time drawing and painting, but, I love the instant gratification the digital camera has brought me.
I live close to Washington DC and travel to photograph the National Mall on a regular basis. So have a look, I usually am there when the weather is going to be breath taking at sunset or when the weather is unusual...
Thanks for visiting and do let me know your comments!
Please do not use my images without contacting me!
Cheers,
Don

"I haven't the words to describe Don's work - except in part 'phenomenal'. His work is full of color and life. When I need a pick me up, I stop by Don's stream to loose myself. His photography is amazing~!"

RH Miller says:
"I think of Don as an urban landscape photographer, but he has wonderful images from Antelope Canyon, Arizona to the US Capital Building in DC. He should publish a book on the Washington DC National Monuments (I get a cut for urging him on). He is as quick with an encouraging comment as he is with his shutter button.
Don has achieved phographic excellence and I consider him to be one of the finest photographers on Flickr, and that is an elite group. If you haven’t already… you need to give his stream a good go through."16th November, 2008
