As if it were straight out of a horror film, photographer Mike Maguire, captures the eeriness of the Halloween season. The photographer uses the light of a street lamp to emphasize the Annabelle-like doll perched on a swing. Many homes in the Georgetown neighborhood get into the “spirit” of the season, creating inspiring displays for any photographer. Check it out if you can! Thanks to Mike for the chilling image!

Also chilling: how quickly this year is flying by! That means our annual contest is fast approaching. In fact, we’ll opening the contest earlier than usual this year. Stay tuned for updates!

Cock by Mike Maguire

I’ve seen many images of Katharina Fritsch’s Hahn/Cock since it’s arrival to the National Gallery of Art’s newly renovated East Building this year. The opaque electrifying blue rooster is a magnet to the eye. It’s placed on the roof facing the city—keeping a close watch over the governing landscape. Mike Maguire’s image is a decisively composed frame, which depicts a woman in a yellow sweater and a friend gazing upon the monumental azure poultry. Mike’s photograph makes us feel as if we are witnessing the scene being captured and not simply looking at an image of a wonderfully weird bird.
