I recently purchased a Ricoh Theta S 360 degree camera, and I am loving it. You can use it to make VR or interactive photos or videos, but one of the things I enjoy doing with it is making 2D images, as you can dynamically change the perspective of the image. One of those perspectives are the little planet or tiny planet images, which are fun. See more images like these by following me on Instagram.

Science Museum of Virginia
I have been working for the Science Museum of Virginia for the past few months. I feel like a came right at the high point of this museums recent history, with the recent opening of the SPEED exhibit in which an SR-71 Blackbird was hung from the ceiling. One thing that has really stuck with me since day one is that the museum is housed in a 100 year old historic train station. It is huge and humbling and majestic, and I love to see it every day when I arrive.
A Day in D.C.
I saw a few items on social media about the Democracy Spring protests in D.C. and about the large number of arrests. I thought this might be worth hopping in the car and taking the 2 hour drive to D.C. This is a chronicling of that adventure.
My social channels began showing articles about massive peaceful arrests of groups demonstrating at the Capitol, more arrests than ever before. The Democracy Spring effort started in Philadelphia, where thousands began a 140-mile walk to the U.S. Capitol to “demand Congress take immediate action to end the corruption of big money in our politics and ensure free and fair elections in which every American has an equal voice.” Seemed like a great thing to try to capture with the camera
Since I was there, I decided to your the US Capitol building and marvel at it’s amazing architecture.
