Another Friday is upon us! September is coming up soon, so save the dates for three great classes we’re sponsoring during Knowledge Commons DC’s fall session. Learn street photography techniques, how to take an impromptu portrait, or tips to catch the airplanes taking-off over Gravelly Point. Registration starts eight-days prior for each class. They’re free but they’ll fill up quickly!
