for the love of DC photography
This image by Thinh Ly is a wonderful representation of the multi-layered screen experience. The artist looks at a screen while creating the film, the visitor watches the screen at the Hirshhorn Museum, Thinh Ly looks at one whilst photographing his subject, and you and I are looking at a screen viewing Ly’s image. Is anyone watching you as you look at your screen?
We had a great time with everyone who came to our meetup at the Jefferson Memorial to watch the World War II warbirds fly over D.C. on May 8. Thanks again to the wonderful Colonel Scott Willey, who told us all about what was flying over. We got a couple of you lucky ducks VIP access to the roof of the tallest building in Rosslyn, and tons of you scattered around D.C. getting whatever sights you could. Here are the best shots from the #WW2Flyover:
The best way to excite me is with simple architecture and geometry. I’m also really fascinated by the grain and texture of Zack Lewkowicz‘s photograph. His title is perfect—Inward Outward. If you focus on the top corner of the building, he indicates that it becomes an optical illusion. Does it change for you?
I was instantly attracted to the oddity of Matt Goupil-Proietta’s image, BullLicker2015. I immediately think of the campy, mid-century landmarks that pepper Route 66. The tones of this scanned photograph complement the sentiment, time, and place the quirky attractions originated from.
The dog days of summer aren’t here just yet, but this cleverly framed shot by Mikey Kennedy is making me want to abandon my desk and find a good spot for a nice, long afternoon nap.
