for the love of DC photography
I was walking through Leo Villareal’s Multiverse at the National Gallery of Art last week with my best friend and told her that this walkway is my favorite spot in Washington. In Kevin Wolf’s photograph he drags his shutter to create the galactic sense of motion that encompasses this installation. He uses contrasting light and shadow well to give the image a surreal effect. The image isn’t post-processed in any form—he set his camera to black and white before capturing the image.
This photo taken by Dimitris Manis is a bit of a mystery—what wonderful use of lighting. There appears to be an infant ghost flying towards the window of the ARTillery Studio in Brookland.
This shot of an abandoned Cadillac by Andrew Pasko-Reader looks like an old movie still, combining intrigue and beauty in a perfectly framed composition.
We couldn’t allow last week’s foggy weather to go untoasted. So here’s Beau Finley‘s magnificent commemoration of that murky meteorological moment, the fog acting as a giant soft focus filter over this archetypal D.C. scene.
What can I say, except that I absolutely love this photo by Kashif Javaid. The photographer’s choice of title along with the words he wrote in the photo’s description on Flickr are better than any additional commentary I could come up with: “Photos like these makes me greedy, makes me look for more photos that are out there waiting to happen. Rule # 1: Camera in hand at all times (well most of the time).”
