Snowmageddon journey in DC from Laura Elizabeth Pohl on Vimeo.

A snowpocalypse is barreling toward DC for the second time this winter. Isn’t that a funny word - “snowpocalypse”? This photograph was from last week’s storm, which apparently was not a snowpocalypse. At least I didn’t hear anyone call it that. This storm will be the third snowfall this week! I’ve always lived in mild-to-hot climates so I think this will be the most snow I’ll have ever seen fall in a seven-day period. I can’t wait to make snow cream, build snowpeople, watch movies, read books and do a little work.

My dear friend Abby at the Women Photojournalists of Washington exhibit opening at Honfleur Gallery in early November (I know - this post is way overdue!)

Miss Allison, photographer extraordinaire and super running buddy!

After the gallery opening, Jenna, Amanda and I took off to photograph as part of FOTOweek DC’s late-night photo contest. A few dozen Native Americans from across the United States set up teepees on the Mall to bring attention to their request for a Native American veterans day.

Crawling through the grass for a shot.

Amanda in “The Blair Witch Photo Project,” as Jenna said.

Warming up with jazz at Columbia Station in Adams Morgan.

Jenna’s happy with her late-night Jumbo Slice (which later fueled dancing at Madam’s Organ.)

Last weekend when the “Blizzard of ‘09” blasted through DC, Angie and I were ensconced at the Rocky Gap State Park Lodge in Maryland. We’d planned a girls weekend several weeks in advance, knowing we’d need a break at the end of the semester. The snow made everything better! We snowshoed for almost four hours (which caused the lodge to send out two guys to find us), made snow angels and generally ooohed and aahed over the winter wonderland.
