Washington D.C. after the storm
Blizzard of 2010 – Images by Pete Marovich
Here are some scenes from Washington, D.C. on Sunday following the great snow.
Snowmageddon (Part 2)
I decided to take a stroll around tonight to see if there was anything interesting to photograph after the snow stopped falling. There were a lot of people out in our apartment complex digging out their cars. Something that I will have to get busy with if I want to get to the city tomorrow [...]
Snowmageddon
“Oh the weather outside is frightful….”
Well, we have been here officially one week and just like on moving day last Saturday, it is snowing. This time, just like the news keeps saying, it is an epic and maybe historic snowfall.
It is not really safe or conceivable to make it into D.C. for photos, but I [...]
Moving to D.C.
Well, the time has come for a change.
It may seem strange to voluntarily leave my job as director of photography at a newspaper for a freelance career, especially in this economy, but I feel the time has come to move on to be able to work on personal projects.
My wife, Jenny, and I have been [...]
Merry Christmas 2009
Been busy with the holiday and a final edit of my essay on an Old Order Mennonite family, but I thought I would post this image taken on Christmas night looking out of our living room window. The reflection is our Christmas tree.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
MUSH
I only remember having italian mush two times. Once was over 20 years ago at my grandmother’s home in Aliquippa and the second time was at my aunt and uncle’s home a few miles from my grandmother’s home about 10 years ago. The cooking process and wonderful flavors leave a lasting impression.
We are on a [...]
Sleeping Cadets (Redux)
Back in October when I as redesigning my website, I posted a photo I had taken from a graduation ceremony at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. It was a bit of an amusing photo of non-graduating cadets in the audience and some of them had nodded off to sleep. Funny, but not uncommon at [...]
About the Burned Essay
I got the idea to photograph items from fires while covering the Harrisonburg Fire Department’s fire safety education display exhibited at the Valley Mall in the city each year.
I was struck by how many of the items look like some sort of modern art, even thought I know a tragedy was responsible for the weirdly textured, [...]
Late Fire Call
It does not happen often, but last night I got the late call about a fire near where I live. The reporter who called said it probably was nothing big. At least nothing big as far as a newspaper is concerned, but probably a big deal to the homeowner.
So, I jumped off the couch, missing [...]
Waffle House – Christiansburg, Va.
On a recent trip back to Beaufort, SC to visit my parents before they move to Pennsylvania, Jen and I stopped for the obligatory Waffle House breakfast. Seriously, where else would you stop at 6 a.m. in the morning?
Afternoon at Jack Brown’s Bar
Took a break from wandering town for a feature photo and stopped in Jack Brown’s burger joint and bar for a coke. I keep hearing about the days of the two-martini lunch but I think that is a myth.
Anyway this seemed like a photo. Maybe it is, maybe not.
Destroying Nature
While on a recent trip south to see my family I was zipping down I-77 in southwestern Virginia and had to do a double-take when I passed this scene near the town of Poplar Camp. It was a crappy overcast day but I noted the mile marker so I could stop on the shoulder on [...]
Midway Rainbow
I was hanging out at the Rockingham County Fair waiting for the start of the Doobie Brothers’ concert (yes they are still alive, and still a good show even though there are only a few of the original members in the group), when the usual late afternoon summer thunderstorm rolled in.
Thankfully it only came down [...]
