Well, like you, James, there are a lot of places I HAVEN’T been, and I have never gone to D.C. “as a photographer”. I’m usually just trying to get some shots “on the go” as a tourist! If you can time a trip when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, that would be a great advantage. I think I would spend a lot of time on the Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The tree lined walkways and ponds in that area give added opportunities and the possibility for some unique photos with the Washington Monument in the distance. I also like the WWII memorial. Aside from the iconic monuments and buildings that you have listed, I would suggest a trip to Mt. Vernon.
