for the love of DC photography
A great photo is one that makes you see something in a way you’ve never seen it before, especially one that makes you pull a brain muscle trying to figure it out. Exhibit A: Roy‘s image of the platform at Takoma Metro station. When I first saw the image in thumbnail format, it looked like a modern sculpture of an eagle, or something related to Batman. When I opened up the full image, it took me a while to comprehend exactly what I was seeing.
I love a good humorous image. Mike Maguire spotted a fun little metro surprise while catching the train.
P.S. Join us for our October happy hour at Jack Rose tomorrow!

If you take a quick scan through our Flickr pool, it looks like a bunch of photographers got together over the weekend to create a postcard series from the Nation’s capital. Enjoy these classic D.C. scenes for today’s In Frame.
This double portrait by Patrick Wright is at once disconcerting and striking, a study in contrasting emotions and appearances. The image is part of his ongoing dcmetromoments series.
Victoria Pickering‘s dramatically cool photo leaves me with questions. Why is the subject standing in the open door with feet planted? Was the subject posing for Victoria, or for another photographer? Is the subject a mannequin? Has the zombie apocalypse begun?
