Playing tourist

"Visitors walk around the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC., Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011."

My friend Matt Mills McKnight is in town for some photo meetings north and south of Baltimore, so I thought I could do my part in showing him around and give him a place to rest his head at night.

Picked him up in Washington, DC., yesterday and showed him some of the nation's most iconic monuments he had never seen in person before.

While I am in the district a lot for work, I don't really walk around downtown much because of all the tourists (read: tourists and traffic). Not to mention, I've been to Washington to see the monuments pretty much every year since fifth-grade.

They still amaze me and it's always fun to shoot around acting like a tourist from another country when there.
