Lumiere: Crowd Crossing
I stopped to grab something to eat while I was downtown and saw this group of people standing there at the intersection. I didn’t know what they were doing but it looked interesting.
I’m glad I captured a few snowflakes as well.
(Don’t play the Flash version if you don’t have to. It looks horrid. The MP4 version is much better.)
Rules: 60 seconds max. Fixed camera. No audio. No zoom. No edit. No effects.

Pope at Washington Circle
My co-worker wanted to see the Pope so I went with her to Washington Circle (two Metro stops away). Almost as soon as we got to the Circle we saw the motorcade and I saw the Pope-mobile before I even had my camera ready.
I felt sorry for one older lady. She was walking really slow and had literally only missed him by a few seconds.
I found it interesting that Catholics and non-Catholics alike (I’m not Catholic) were standing out there waiting for the Pope. In the Metro station a guy came up to me (something that I’m sure wouldn’t talk to me under normal circumstances) to see if I had gotten a good picture of the Pope. I thought that was really interesting.
Back outside of McPherson Square metro station, we heard sirens. One of the traffic officers who work that corner asked rhetorically “Is that him?” bursting with excitement. I thought that was interesting too.
