Description
This photo was taken when I visited Washington DC. While attending high school there was a national contest sponsored by Close-Up for students in high school. Round trip entire weeks stay up front behind the scenes on the everyday operations of the United States Government. The contest rules only accepted freshmen thru juriors to participate by wiriting a essay on the american government.. I was working as an assistant waiter at a once famous resturant here in the city. Senior where not allowed to participate, because I was the Senior Class President at school, I asked the organization could I pay for my own plane fare and they agreed. I also had a sponsor from the French Restaurant I worked and when I returned home created a mural of my trip to Washington and presented it to the owner. I was able to make the trip and represent my senior class in Washington DC. While in Washington, I met then Mary Landrieu. Mary pursued her interest in politics and hence became our state representive, Congresswoman Mary Landrieu. Mary's brother is currently our Mayor elect after Hurricane Katrina Mitch Landrieu, Mary and Mitch's father was our Mayor as well Moon Landrieu. The entire family has policial roots here in the city. Weeks later a reunion was held here in the city at the high school I attended to inform the students of our participation with the Close-Up Organization. A 35mm camera was given to me as a loan to take photos of my trip. I do not recall the cameras make or mofel The camera had a metal body and fixed lens but you could manual focus.. This photo was enhance with Sepia Tone to enhance details in the stone, and also to remove imperfections in the original photo scanned.....
