for the love of DC photography
I am attracted to the mood of this photograph by Zach Kalman. It’s an image that breathes the essence of a simpler time–before cold brew coffee was popularized. The man dressed with elegance meets the eyes of Kalman adding a deeper connection to a photographer and his subject.
We need more than one day to memorialize those men and woman who gave their lives for America. Let us extend the remembrance a couple extra days with his striking image of a girl’s stare photographed by Flickr user His Noodly Appendage.
I was walking through Leo Villareal’s Multiverse at the National Gallery of Art last week with my best friend and told her that this walkway is my favorite spot in Washington. In Kevin Wolf’s photograph he drags his shutter to create the galactic sense of motion that encompasses this installation. He uses contrasting light and shadow well to give the image a surreal effect. The image isn’t post-processed in any form—he set his camera to black and white before capturing the image.
This photo taken by Dimitris Manis is a bit of a mystery—what wonderful use of lighting. There appears to be an infant ghost flying towards the window of the ARTillery Studio in Brookland.
This image by Thinh Ly is a wonderful representation of the multi-layered screen experience. The artist looks at a screen while creating the film, the visitor watches the screen at the Hirshhorn Museum, Thinh Ly looks at one whilst photographing his subject, and you and I are looking at a screen viewing Ly’s image. Is anyone watching you as you look at your screen?
