It was a warm one last weekend, so the crew of a D.C. fire truck provided some relief for Pride festival goers, which Victoria Pickering caught in this perfect summertime image.

This one of many images that Victoria Pickering captured of new installation by the Charles Bergen Studio. The team of artists were selected by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to create the Chinatown DC Barnes Dance Artwork. Pickering’s photo is a striking and well-composed image that gives a glimpse of the intriguing installation.

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.

The angle in which Victoria Pickering photographed this scene is magnificently puzzling, and documents the installation of Living Time Line: Paul Robeson last Saturday on a U St. alleyway in D.C. Muralist Cory L Stowers received a commission from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to create this work, which depicts the life of Paul Robeson. Pickering notes that the mural “contains an image recognition technology which triggers access to rich content, and is the first use of this technology for an outdoor mural.”

I love how editorial this photograph is. I am usually most attracted to images that use color and geometry to illustrate a subject. I was unfamiliar with the game Go, depicted here in Victoria Pickering’s image. I discovered that the American Go Association’s explanation of the game flawlessly portrays the essence of Pickering’s photo:
“Go is . . . ancient board game which takes simple elements: line and circle, black and white, stone and wood, combines them with simple rules and generates subtleties which have enthralled players for millennia. Go’s appeal does not rest solely on its Asian, metaphysical elegance, but on practical and stimulating features in the design of the game.”
Pickering uses fundamental components of design—simple lines, rudimentary shapes, and primary colors—to accentuate the various elements of her photograph. Working together, the mustard-yellow board and contrasting black lines emphasize the black and white game pieces. Simultaneously the lines separate the hand from the yellow board, allowing it to pop from the background. The player’s hand is elegantly posed and framed perfectly so that the viewer’s eye is directed towards the middle of the photo.
