I hope you have a great Martin Luther King Jr. Day. With all the ugliness in our world right now (you know who and what I mean), it’s nice to know that Dr. King and people like Dr. King have been and are among us. He pushed for nonviolence, racial equality, understanding, and eliminating poverty while maintaining his principles that everyone regardless of color or creed are equal members of the human family. There is a reason why he is the only non-president to have a national holiday dedicated in his honor and non-president memorialized on the Great Wall in the United States capital. Everyone from our current President on down to our newest member, can learn from Dr. King.

Don’t forget to check out my photo galleries. I update and add to them often.
It is almost time for my annual pilgrimage into Washington D.C. for the Baldrige Examiner training. While I am there, I try to get into the city to photograph as much as possible. That’s my plan this year as well, along with having dinner with my cousin Eric. Should be fun.
This photo is from last year’s trip. As you can tell, this is the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial with the Washington Monument in the background.
This is a 7-exposure HDR photo I created from my Washington DC trip last spring. I had to wait around the monument for about an hour to get a time without tourist in the way, walking in front of me, looking at the monument, etc…. Those darn tourist!!! What are they thinking, when they visit these sites and get in my way???? You know it is all about me.
Well it is pretty clear where I took this photo. I have been in the Washington DC area all week for Baldrige Examiner Training. Every night after training ends, I’ve been running into the downtown area to photograph some of the sites. I also had dinner Tuesday night with an old friend (Julie Briggs), her husband Todd, and their daughter Natalie. It was nice catching up with them.
This was my first time at the Martin Luther King Jr. Monument.
