I am working on breaking out of my comfort zone as a curator and pushing my eyes to new vistas. This week we have everything from dog ears, a field of flowers, and shadow neck tattoos to holes in the ceiling, shoes in the crosswalk, and beer on a picnic table. Please continue to tag your photos #exposeddc or #instantdc and if something catches my eye you might just end up here next week. Enjoy. – J. Campbell.
