The Man in the Bubble - Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips

I took this photo during the Earth Day Festival on the National Mall, April 19, 2009.

It's a picture of the lead singer of the Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne, inside of his now famous giant bubble.

I happened to get lucky in this instance in the sense that as I took this picture someone's flashbulb illuminated in the crowd, and caught Wayne's face.

You can see the Washington Monument off to the right.

"Meet the Natives"

I took this shot for the Travel Channel. A subsidiary of Discovery (which is based out of DC), they are working on producing a television show featuring a group of natives from Vanuatu visiting the United States in a kind of reverse anthropology type of reality series.

The show was bought by the channel from the BBC who had produced a British form of the show called "Meet the Natives."
