__NOTOC__

I tend to focus on historic buildings, architecture, local history, and public art in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and North Carolina, but also sometimes random topics I find interesting. If you find grammatical errors in my articles, then I'm not surprised...at all. I try my best. When I'm bored, I review recent changes and new articles, report vandals, and get rid of spam. I often write articles or upload photos in waves. My 10,000th photo uploaded to Wikipedia and Commons is here. (I love photography, even if mine aren't always great) When I'm busy in real life or just grow tired of writing things and seeing too much bickering on talk pages, I take a break. Spend time with your loved ones and close friends. Get away from the site for a while. Absence makes the heart grow fonder yada yada. So if I don't respond to a message, look at my edits to see if I'm active. I leave you with something positive.
