for the love of DC photography
Chris McDaniel continues his series of high-contrast black and white street photos with this shot of two Ethiopian women wearing traditional shawls. The sheer nature of the clothing’s material results in a broad range of tones, creating a softness absent in many of the other images in the series.
So much to love about this shot from Plantains & Kimchi, it’s hard to know where to begin. So I’ll just wish you Happy New Year on behalf of all of us here at Exposed DC, and encourage you not to procrastinate (your resolution too, perhaps?) and submit your photos today for the 2014 contest!
This week’s collection includes using your mouth as a pinhole camera, the 45th anniversary of Earthrise, a series of photos taken from a kite, and of course several Best of 2013 galleries. Have at it.
The potential for captions for this hilarious candid shot from ep_jhu is huge. The title chosen – “This camera is a terrible phone” – is excellent, as is the witty alternative title “Earshot.” If you have any other ideas, feel free to add them in the comments.
So remember that massive winter storm we had on Tuesday? Well obviously this photograph isn’t from then. This gorgeous black and white mosaic of a shot by David Rice is from a time when we had proper snow, in December 2009.
