Here are a few of my Nikon photos from my Washington, D.C. trip. I started with the Lincoln Memorial and worked my way down to the U.S. Capital building. I spend almost a whole day at Arlington National Cemetery, which opens at 8 a.m.
My Holga film is currently being developed. I should have those back and scanned next week. I hope you enjoy these shots. Cheers.
