Comedy in DC: Jessica Brodkin
I braved the cold last Wednesday evening and found refuge in Dupont Circle’s Teaism to meet with DC comic Jessica Brodkin. I was there pretty early and had a pot of World Peace tea. I must say that Michael Jackson’s “We are the World” started playing in my head. Once all seven of my chakras aligned, Jessica arrived and we [...]

DC Streets: Beneath the Surface by pnzr242
While it may not have the historical significance and impeccable timing of Cartier-Bresson’s “Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare“, this image captures a beautiful moment in time. I love it when a photo causes your eye to dance around the frame, first from the obvious action of the puddle, next to the [...]
