Washington DC : It's a wrap!

Today we visited the Newseum, we found parking garage closer to it, so walking in the rain was not as bad. For this particular museum you will have to pay an entry fee, there is a cafe with 4 different stations of food to choose if you decide to have a quick bite over there. They were having an Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery.Award-Winning Images and Photographers Who Took Them.
Some of the photographs have become icons of their time: Marines raising Old Glory on Iwo Jima, the joyful reunion of a returning prisoner of war and his family, a firefighter cradling an injured infant after the Oklahoma City bombing. Those and other images record the defining moments of our world and time. I walked around  looking at every picture, it truly was a moving experience.

One quote that I found  truly inspiring:
If it makes you laugh
If it makes you cry,
If it rips out your heart
that's a good picture

-Eddie Adams,

Here is one of my favorite pictures this one put a huge smile on my face.
