Washington, D.C. Here’s a look at the Washington Monument from the National WWII Memorial tonight using the iPhone 5s with three different lenses and “films” with the Hipstamatic App, and one with the Pro HDR app. All taken within four minutes of each other

This is my second trip to Washington, D.C. from Los Angeles in a week. I never get tired of crossing over and looking down at the Rockies. Today was no different. I don’t know how many times I’ve flown over this particular patch, and it always looks different. After I arrived at Dulles Airport I raced over to the National Air & Space Museum in Chantilly, VA, and was treated to one helluva sunset. It was my first time there, and it’s worth the trip just to see the Space Shuttle Discovery and the SR-71 Blackbird housed inside. Tomorrow I attend the annual dinner of the International Center for Journalists, and then down to Newport News for the christening of the USS Gerald R. Ford, our latest aircraft carrier that’s in a class of its own, (as was its namesake).

I love working with talented people, and the actor William Macy is one of the best. I was on the set of Showtime’s “Shameless” tonight at Warner Bros as the guest of director David Nutter and executive producer of the show Michael Hissrich. My son Jack is the reason I ventured over to Burbank to observe the production, he is interested in a film career, and was invited by David Nutter to watch him in action. Macy plays Frank Gallagher, a guy with a major drinking problem, and there’s no question that he isn’t a drunk, but plays one on TV! He kindly posed for a few portraits, and then also insisted that he and Jack have a shot, er picture together!

I never run out of things to see in my neighborhood here in Santa Monica. My youngest son Jack displayed a painting he finished today of composer Jean Sibelius, based on a Yousef Karsh portrait taken in 1949. This made for a good black and blue moment!

And just up the street my friend Bill Shaffer had a 1956 Daimler Roadster parked in front of his place. What a classic, also keeping up with the blue theme.

In our backyard birdbath, a fine little Townsend’s Warbler showed up for a dip.
