Arrived at the FDR Memorial at 6:30 a.m. last Sunday for an 8 a.m. engagement session. Having an hour and change to kill, I decided to shoot some scenics. Walking towards the FDR Memorial, I couldn’t help but notice that I was not alone. Who wakes up early Sunday morning to see the blossoms? Well, everybody.

By the time I got there, finding a spot to put my tripod was challenging, to say the least. Amazing–the quantity of professional cameras just waiting to catch the sunrise behind the Jefferson. Here are some pics I managed to get after clawing my way through the crowd. Thanks, Nita and Steve, for keeping your cool under the watchful gaze of the masses.
