Spires


Washington, DC--Sun falling on Westminster Street, NW. The row of houses was built circa 1880. Many of the houses still have their original spires. The Encyclopædia Britannica states this of the spire: “[it is] a symbol of the heavenly aspirations of pious medieval men” (1979).

Capitol Real Estate


Washington, DC--On a stormy day in the city the clouds seems to gloom over the Capitol.

Federal Bureau of Investigation


Washington, DC--This is the headquarters of the FBI, located downtown DC at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. It occupies a whole block of offices. It is not one of the prettiest buildings in the city but I must say I have seen worse. There has been talk in town about turning it into a shopping center and move their offices some place else. I don't really think that will happen anytime soon.

About This Blog

Luis Gomez Photos

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
