Congressional Gold Medal to Capitol Artist

House and Senate leaders, speak during the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously to Constantino Brumidi. Brumidi, was awarded with the medal for his many artistic contributions to the United States Capitol. One of his most famous pieces is the ceiling of the Rotunda.

Walk out for Holder

On the same day as the Supreme Court rules in favor of President Obamas health care overhaul, the House Republicans decide to vote on holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress which passes in the House. Holder was accused for not submitting some of the documents in the Fast and Furious program, which ultimately led to the death of a board patrol agent. To protest the vote, House Democrats hold a walk out during the call for votes.

Pennsylvania Sprint Car Races

On my road trip back from Boston, I stopped in Hanover, PA to see my grandfather on Father's Day. Sure enough, he was going to the races and I decided to tag along.  An old friend of mine is a Sprint Car Racer and I choose to photograph his team and their cars throughout the night and fortunately,  I picked the right team to do just that. Jacob, his cousin, came in first place and he got to celebrate it with his father, who is the owner of his race car. The celebration took place on the infield after the races; it was a very emotional time.
