for the love of DC photography
This is a brilliant composition by Emily Long. The arrow points to a glassy puddle reflecting the top half of two people. The pedestrians seemingly walk on their own torsos as remainder of their bodies are cropped from the frame.
Even seeing this as a small thumbnail on my computer screen, I instinctively thought of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks painting. Here, Tim Brown has a great eye for drawing the viewer directly through the illuminated window pane to the casual diners. Nighthawks is one of my favorite paintings to study and I am thrilled to see other photographs share the same affinity.

I was suddenly struck by the beauty of this image by Charles Coleman. This tranquil scene at the US National Arboretum captures the essence of the unofficial end of summer.

A fine minimal moment from Instagram user, @korofina. On a day that’s grey, this architectural photo is a feast for artistic and natural beauty.

The hues and tones in this photograph by Instagram user, @bonafidedc are delicious. The filter used on this image enhances the retro Vogue spirit of the scene. The reds & blues contrast well, and I love the tiny water droplets—a subtle but important detail.
