In Frame: Best of 2016

January 4, 2017 By Caroline Space

HAPPY 2017, friends!

It’s been a wonderful year in image making. I’ve seen hundreds of extraordinary images on our Flickr page and our #exposeddc Instagram tag. Photography is my life and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

It was such a difficult task to select my 10 favorite In Frames of from 2016, but ultimately these images are the ones with which I really felt a special connection. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all enter into the 11th annual ExposedDC photography contest–enter your best work showcasing life in the metro area before January 11. And keep making pictures–I cannot wait to see what you create this year!

All my best,

Caroline

I was initially drawn to the postcard glow from the sun setting through the branches in Eric P‘s photo. The warm colors brighten up the landscape of a seemingly cold and still afternoon, which invites me in the frame.

In case you missed the big news, our 11th annual photography contest opened last week! The deadline for submissions is January 11, 2017. Don’t lose track!

Ooh—this photo is satiating. Photographers and artists are gifts to society—they look up and down finding new ways of seeing a scene. Here Flickr user ep_jhu spies upon those below framing them in a grey box surrounded by blue rectangles. The lights create a cool flow of luminosity making me feel like I am looking down to the ocean floor.

I love the tidy composition of this colorful scene by Eric P. He has centered the red doors horizontally, creating a subtle tension with the windows above, which are perhaps unexpectedly misaligned with the doors.

Coffee on Her Mind by Flickr user ep_jhu
Coffee on Her Mind by Flickr user ep_jhu

On most days the first thing I think  is, “Can I sleep more?” and the second thing I think about is coffee. Flickr user Eric P. has a clever eye and captures the third thing I think, “How long must I wait to have more coffee without feeling jittery?”
