Not exactly a show report, but I had a chance to go, for two separate days, to the museum during a bicycle summit my group puts on in Washington, DC. The first day I roamed on my own, never told anyone I was coming, that way I could do a photo shoot of things I love there, which is about everything! Second day I took friends and met with Jeff Post and Mike Wise, the shining stars of the Smithsonian. We went back room touring, great fun!
