for the love of DC photography
It is particularly weird that we can only see the bottom half of this man, while he leans into the crevice between two buildings. But it is the second realization, that a large stream of water is trickling out beneath his legs, which gives this image from John Ulaszek its “huh?” factor.
Photographer Yonas Hassen, that master of capturing the strange pose, put a couple of good ones in the Exposed DC pool lately, but this one stood out. Given the bizarro technicolor spirituality oozing from the scene, you’ll find it almost totally unsurprising that this is from an event called the Floyd Yoga Jam.
What better justice can you do for a foggy forested island than photographing it in old black and white film? The scratches practically etch out the evil spirits in this Penobscot Bay, Maine scene by Robb Hohmann.
This long exposure photograph from Victoria Pickering brings out many great colors we wouldn’t see in a daylight photo. The interior lights from the bus and the lights from the cars add to the ever-so-slight movement of the people the image.
I’ve shot the occasional DC Rollergirl photo, so I know a good one when I see it. The falling of the light on the skater’s face and upper body, whether naturally occurring or cleverly set up is what really makes this beautiful image from Pablo Benavente. The subtle rendition of the cluttered surroundings balances perfectly with the skater’s focused expression and the smooth skin tones of her arms, shoulders and back.
