As I mentioned previously, last weekend I traveled to both Orlando and Washington, D.C. After photographing the House of Blues event, I left for BWI airport.

While in the Maryland/DC area, I got to meet up with longtime friends including Matt and Gus--both of whom I haven't seen in almost two years. I also got to touch base with a few Nigerian friends for a nice dinner.

After meeting with friends, it was time to meet with family. My younger sister, Cassandra, attends Howard University which I attended many moons ago also as an engineering student. Somehow she was able to successfully manage Pharmacy school (she should be out making the big bucks in about 2 and half years!) while becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority.

She asked me to come photograph their Proselyte show this year and I was looking forward to taking in my old stomping grounds again. I must say that it's something about the Howard campus (especially the yard) that I love. Lots of history and tradition. And of course we always remember our first experiences in college and I have some great memories from my time there.

And I must say, that beautiful campus made for some pretty cool images too...

I must be getting out of shape! That hill is steeper than I remember...

HU was the founding place for many African American sororities and fraternities, including Cassandra's organization.

Ladies and gentlemen, my sister Cassandra...

Lots of people even crowded the roof to get a good look (too bad I couldn't get up there...way too crowded to work my way up there)
