National Archives Photographer | Military Event Photographer | Air Force Promotion Ceremony2/27/2017  National Archives Museum Regardless of branch of service, with every military promotion comes greater responsibility and an immense sense of pride for not only the military member, but their family as well. I am always honored when other families (fellow veterans) contact me for various events, and a promotion ceremony is no exception. Unlike many military bases and installations, Washington D.C. is fills with countless different famous monuments and museums to hold a memorable promotion or retirement ceremony.

Not only is it marvelously grand in person, it is also a wonderfully photogenic structure. At wide angles, one can capture the great expanse to the sky and can create interesting shapes with the different angles of the Memorial’s dramatically curved spires. The sheen steel also brilliantly illuminates with sunlight, creating some exciting shape and color.   Welcome back to my “What’s In Your Bag?” series where I talk about my equipment!

When I purchased this lens two years ago I fell in love with it right away! Even though it’s a prime lens, it’s really versatile. I’ll be showing a few photographs to illustrate why I love and enjoy using this lens as a family photographer.
