Exposed DC

for the love of DC photography

In Frame: January 23, 2017 – Special Inauguration and Women’s March Edition

By

Hello photo people! This weekend was quintessentially D.C. Whether you went to the inauguration, or were one of the estimated 500,000 people to march the streets, I was proud to see so many photographers actively making images. Instead of one image, I thought today I would share some of my favorite frames fueled by this weekend’s political energy.

Peace Reflections by Tim Brown

Photographer, Tim Brown, invites us into the U.S. Institute of Peace. His exquisite framing allows us to peer into many little moments that are happening in each window. Like a tiny doll house, with each room exposed, the viewer can choose space to for their mind to occupy—either one at at time or all at once. I absolutely love this image.

In Frame: Best of 2016

HAPPY 2017, friends!

It’s been a wonderful year in image making. I’ve seen hundreds of extraordinary images on our Flickr page and our #exposeddc Instagram tag. Photography is my life and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

It was such a difficult task to select my 10 favorite In Frames of from 2016, but ultimately these images are the ones with which I really felt a special connection. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all enter into the 11th annual ExposedDC photography contest–enter your best work showcasing life in the metro area before January 11. And keep making pictures–I cannot wait to see what you create this year!

All my best,

Caroline

This is clearly not D.C., but it’s taken by, Bo Tan, a Chinese photographer currently based in the district. As a person and a photographer, I have particular interests: the colors green, blue, and orange, mountains, gas stations, and mid-afternoon sunlight that softens hues a little while still creating odd shadows. Bo’s image has all of that in a wonderfully framed scene.

I love that Exposed DC has the ability to illuminate places that local photographers travel and document. I’m excited to see my peers’ adventures on my screen, vicariously living through your pictures. Keep making clever frames my D.C. metro friends!

(And don’t forget to enter your photographs — of D.C. by D.C. photographers — in our annual contest before January 11.)
