for the love of DC photography
I’ve seen a lot of great images with wonderful uses of contrast lately—Bridget Murray Law’s photograph is no exception. She sets the mood with her stunning use of light and shadowing that characterizes the contemplative man standing by the window. The scene is timeless and I feel a sense of familiarity to the image.
This shot was taken by Leonard Jewler in February, however, I’m happy to see he posted it now. This is such a striking use of contrast and abstraction. Jewler takes the opportunity to view an often-photographed scene and shift his angle to create a more unique and interesting image.
I was really drawn to the raw movements captured in this moment by Antwain Jackson. He attaches this quote to his image, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop.”—Confucius. It’s one of those statements that really pairs with the essence of the photograph—motion. Appropriately, just behind the boy, you can faintly see a sign that reads, “No Stopping Anytime.” I continue to read Confucius’ words and look at Jackson’s image. Each time I look back and forth, I feel a new sense of movement.
John Sonderman looks up and finds interesting geometry in this architectural space. His photo, Studio Theatre, is well balanced between light and shadow, causing the viewer to circulate the image–finding new details each time.
Zoom in to the House of Cards opening. What an interesting catch of three people going about their day on North Capitol by Jordan Barab.
