In Bethesda this morning visiting Victoria, my long-time (since 1970) friend. It’s always great to see her and her family. We’re here for a day or two before going to their shore house in Rehoboth Beach DE. She lives in a condominium in downtown Bethesda – I’m looking out from the sixth story down to Old Georgetown Road.

This morning we’re going to The Torpedo Factory Art Center. A former torpedo factory, this world-renowned art center is located just outside Washington, D.C.  – I expect to photograph, note and steal many creative ideas from all of their great studios, shops and small galleries.
