No, not to photograph more Congressman. Well, not directly, at least. We spent close to a week their, photographing and documenting the arrival of a new car. The Aptera 2e! Aptera Motors, out of California, hired us to document their visit to Washington, DC and Capital Hill.

They were here for the sole purpose of introducing their new vehicle, and trying to get a bill passed, which would allow them to get funding. Aparently, the Department of Energy, gives funding to auto manufacturers, for new car productions. The problem was, that they don’t consider the Aptera 2e a car, because it only has 3 wheels. Well let me tell you something, this thing is a hybrid car all the way, and on the man toy scale, ultra cool!

It would be an understatement, if I was to say that this car was a real head turner. Neck snapper, would be more accurate! On the streets of DC, this car nearly caused a wreck on every street corner. On Several occasions, the local police even pulled it over, to find out what the heck it was, and check it out.

Needless to say, we had a great time photographing the Aptera 2e, and hanging out with the people of Aptera Motors. We’re definitely thankful for the opportunity!

Well, we’re headed to Capital Hill. Not that we have a political agenda or anything, but to take some congressional portraits of California Congressman, Brian Bilbray.

We started off, by meeting up with Congressman Bilbray’s head communication’s officer, who gave us the behind the scenes tour of the Capital. The first half of our day was spent scoping the joint out, looking for promising areas to photograph the Congressman. Let me tell you, security up their, is a royal pain in the arse. We had a day filled of “you can’t stand their”, “no tripod”, “you need to move on”, “no flash allowed here”, and so on. It’s no wonder that nothing ever gets accomplished on “The Hill”, they have way to many rules to play by, not to mention, getting lost trying to get from point A to B.

Anyway, after many hours of hanging around, and our feet hurting from walking so much, we were finally able to get together with the Congressman, and take a couple of great shots of him.
