UNITED STATES – OCTOBER 26: Oxfam America activists put on their masks to stage a photo-op on the east side of the Capitol before the start of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction hearing on “Discretionary Outlays, Security and Non-Security” on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2011. The activists wore giant masks featuring photos of Super Committee members, and wore Super Committee capes to ask if the committee members will be super heroes by defending the poor from budget cuts.(Photo By Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)

Sometimes the big news strikes right where you live. Yup, this is the front of the building where I live. The 5.8 magnitude earthquake which hit the DC area today caused a section of the brick facade to buckle. Several other building in my neighborhood sustained greater damage with sections of brick crumbling from their facades.

It’s debt ceiling crisis time in the Capitol, and it’s showing on Sen. Baucus’ face as he speaks to reporters in the Capitol.

After learning my grandmother was very ill, and probably only had days to live, I made the drive down to Athens, Ga., to see her in the hospital earlier this week. Although frail at 92, she was still mentally sharp as a tack and irreverent as ever. It was such a gift to be able to see this remarkable woman one last time, and to be able to express how much she meant to me.
Today I got the call that she had died this afternoon. So this week’s Photo of the Week, taken from a much simpler and carefree time, is dedicated to Jaunita Peckham…what a woman!

While in Las Vegas shooting some photos for Roll Call on the political scene in Nevada, it turned out I needed to drive 7 hours through the scorching desert to Reno for an event. Everyone made it sound like it was going to be the most miserable drive, but it was hands down the most enjoyable road trip I’ve ever had. A few hours north of Vegas, I ran across this old cemetery in Goldfield, NV, and had to stop for some photos.
