I'm a web accessibility specialist by trade. I'm also a PhD student in Curriculum and Instruction, emphasizing "Schooling, Culture and Society." I have degrees in psychology and instructional technology, and minors in Spanish and art. I'm a technology geek, photographer, artist, author, musician, cyclist jogger, dancer, thinker, and mischief-maker, among other things, with a genuine interest in so many things that I can never claim to be bored, though perhaps I can claim to be distractable. I currently live in Arlington, Virginia, near Washington, DC, where I teach classes in web accessibility and design at George Mason University.

Memorial Bridge Over the Frozen Potomac, January 2009
I attended the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC on January 15, 2009. The cold temperatures sliced through my many layers of clothing and chilled me to the core. Even so, it was a great day, and provided me the opportunity to take lots of photos. I decided to walk home after the ceremony, and on the way I found several photo-worthy sights. Below is a photo of Memorial Bridge over the frozen Potomac River. Most of the river was solid ice, but there were a few spots where the current was stronger that had broken into dangerous-looking jagged rectangles floating on the surface of the frigid water.
The scene was dramatic enough by itself, but I wanted to create a black and white version and enhance it, to take advantage of the bold composition and strong angular shapes. I've posted the original photo for the sake of comparison, along with the final black and white version.
