for the love of DC photography
I was sitting with my mother trying to decide which photo to select for today’s In Frame. She immediately saw this photo by Victoria Pickering and said, “I just love the color!” My mother was right—the vibrant primary colors really pop on a bright white background.
I see a lot of typical post-card images of Washington D.C.—many are slight variations of the same shot. But, this image photographed by, Larry Greene is perhaps my favorite picture I’ve seen of the Washington Monument.

His framing of the monument is nearly perfect.
