Remembering Inauguration Day

Washington, DC--Inauguration Day was a wonderful climax to days of anticipation. Matty and I walked from home to the National Mall for the ceremony (we were lucky enough to have Silver tickets). It was magic to see more than 1 million (1.8 million?) Americans there celebrating. That evening we had tickets to the Neighborhood Ball where we saw President and Mrs. Obama take the first dance as First Couple. Click on the collage photo above to see all of the photos. We also have video from the Ball.

just wanted to thank you for allowing everyone to view the Obama Iaug. I never post anything really. However when I was through watching your slides/collage. I kept wondering what a nice thing you had done. Its as if I was able to to take a peak at how it actually was. I felt very blessed. Thanks for doing such a good job and such a wonderful thing.

Mrs. Day

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.
