Sun and Snow

Washington, DC--The city had a different face today. Yes, there was still snow everywhere, but the sun was shinning and spirits were high. It is hard to navigate the city as many or most side streets are impossible to navigate. There was no Metrobus service and only limited Metrobus service (underground lines only). Businesses are waiting for their suppliers to arrive with goods. However, people are starting to go outside again. The bad news is that another major snowstorm is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Some of my coworkers were supposed to be in DC for a conference last weekend but all the flights into DC were canceled. We (in Maine) were spared from the snow storm.

But a snow storm does make for a great photo-op. :-)

Sun does lift one's spirits for certain. Snow and blue sky are a great combination and I hope you can take advantage of it!

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.
