My "Work Uniform"

Managed to capture a shot of myself hustling down Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, returning home from the job. Essentially, this is what I wear to work every day as a legal support specialist/court reporter. You don't really get the full effect of how it all comes together with the power tie and so forth
, but this is the standard look for me as I carry my gear (mixer, mics, recorders et al). I certainly have plenty of other jackets and sport-coats to choose from, but every time I reach for something else, I always gravitate back toward the hero. I've worn it in court hearings, depositions (not so frequently, since the close quarters of a conference room may make the aroma of English Leather a bit too distracting
) nobody's batted an eye. As a matter of fact, I get compliments if anything
.
So in essence, it has become my standard court reporter's uniform!

Thanks guys!
I actually just balanced the camera on its side on the cobblestone median, making sure it was at ever so slightly an angle, timer on ten seconds. I was prepared to rattle off a couple few shots, but I checked out the results of this one and was like, "Huh...nailed it!
Which was a good thing, because I really didn't feel compelled to hang out in the middle of the street operating questionable looking pieces of gear, right in front of the FBI building
And Holt, thanks for the compliment on the hair! It's actually in a pony tail there, but I am considering cropping it....eventually
Cheers everybody! Hope you're all having great Holidays, respectively!

Very righteous pic indeed! I'm usually a Raiders jacket and Levi's sort of fellow.
