The National Aquarium

Written By Paulette Brown

This has to be one of my favorite personal set of photos! I think my favorite part about it is being able to photograph up close and at different angles. I get a chance to photograph ocean animals without being out in the ocean with them where I would completely crap my bathing suit ( much respect to those photographers out there actually doing this.)

I chose to shoot all of these in black and white because I thought it suited the vibe the best. My favorite animal to watch were the jelly fish. They put me at ease and make me feel so calm. My favorite part of the aquarium is still the touch pool. You can find me hanging out there longer than anywhere proudly yelling the words “ omg I touched the Jellyfish!!!”
