Shelly's Back Room

It is time to talk about Cigars.
I am a big fan! This is my one vice. But through the years it has become increasingly harder to find a place to smoke. Recently I made a fantastic discovery. Shelly’s Back Room is now my favorite spot in D.C.
Shelly’s has been around for years, and serves fantastic food. Large comfortable couches and chairs, nice tables to eat at, and flat screen TV’s make it a great place to relax and have a cigar. They have a wide range of cigars for sale, but they are fine if you bring your own.
Tom had some tickets to a Wizards game, so after a smoke and fine meal at Shelly’s we made our way to the Verizon Center.
The Wiz played the Dallas Mavericks and lost of course, but the evening was a success because of my new discovery.
I have to apologize for the quality of the photography, everything was shot on my IPhone.

Lucie Awards

For the 4th year in a row I was honored by the prestigious Lucie Awards. The Lucie’s are an international photography contest equivalent to television Emmy Awards. The contest annually attracts upwards of 50,000 entries. This year I received 7 honorable mentions in the Wedding photography category. These are the winning photos.

Max Hoops

Max’s loves basketball! He is in a local 9 year old league, and he plays on the Lakers. I am not allowed to brag how well he is playing, but just look at the pictures below.
Leading the fast break and finishing strong.
A well place arm helps to go by his man.
Here he hits the jump shot with the defense all over him.
Scanning the floor for the open teammate. (With tongue hanging out.)
Never saw a shot he didn’t like.
Look at those hops! He is a rebounding machine.
Tongue wagging like Michael Jordan.
Very nice technique boxing out his man.
