The weekend before the ‘mass exodus’ of the Fourth holiday…and it was a gorgeous one. Eastern Market now open, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in full swing, boating and water sports on area rivers and even simple ‘backyard’ fun - our area photographers caught it all.

The Magic of the Single-Shot Photographer

I read an article in Express yesterday that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. It was about color photographer William Eggleston, whose work is displayed at the Corcoran right now. The part that was amazing to me is his technique: he doesn’t take multiple frames of his subject [...]

We’re not late with the Flashback, honest.
It’s just taking us a little to get up to speed after such a glorious and busy weekend - Rolling Thunder, fireworks, parades, fairs, cookouts - all heralding the ‘unofficial’ start to summer in the District and the opening of the tourista floodgates.
Fantastic photos by [...]

Monumental: Enjoying inside

Our weather seems to be doing its best to find painful and interesting ways to whipsaw between different combinations of wind, cold, rain, gloom and shine. It can be discouraging to try to plan an outdoor trip more than five minutes in advance and downright unpleasant to be out there sometimes. So in [...]

Despite the chill in the air, the sky was (mostly) agreeable and due to the number of events going on this weekend, you guys were busy! DC Exposed to the Oscars to Kennedy Center concerts to bands to sports professional and not, you guys managed to capture quite the slice [...]

Our photos of the weekend ranged from ice skating in Arlington to the [...]

Hello DC. Are you ready for January 20th yet? Most of the photos on Flickr over the last few days were great shots of the rehearsal parade; check out Travlr’s and NewsHour’s photo streams for more.
Birth and death, monuments and art, museums and animals - all part of the patina [...]
Camera Adventures in DC
I’ve been in the market for a new camera for about 3 months. I’m a Canon guy (sorry Ben Rome, I know your love of Nikon is holy and chaste), and I’d been vacillating between an XSi and a 40D or a 50D. That is, until I came to hold a 5D Mark [...]

Over by the National Christmas Tree there is a Santa’s Workshop where children can line up to visit Santa Claus and have a picture taken. I don’t have kids but when I visited Saturday night, the view through the window was a cozy, picturesque scene of a jolly old man smiling as he held wide-eyed [...]

Environmental Light Installation with Boy by Edward Hoover
When someone takes a photo of another person’s art, can the photo then be considered art itself? My personal opinion is that in most cases it can, but this is a debate that will never be settled, much like the never ending film vs digital debate. In the [...]

holding onto fall by NCinDC
It’s that time of year again, DC. By now you’ve probably shut down your a/c, cleared the cobwebs out of your furnace, and added an extra blanket or two to your bed. There may be a few precious nights of leaving your windows open, but soon it will be too cold, [...]
