She Shoots DC: Michelle Farnsworth

I am truly amazed at the number of photographers who call DC home. Many of them contribute to our photo pool on a constant basis; many of the photos accompanying our articles are taken by local residents who enjoy sharing their work through the Flickr avenue. And then there are others who don’t necessarily contribute [...]

Weekend Flashback: 7/9 – 7/11/10

‘Vuvuzela’ courtesy of ‘ep_jhu’ And a weekend it was. Spain wins, an octopus goes undefeated, we finally get rain, then back to heat, and as usual, our awesome Flickrati were out in force. Be sure to check out a new feature here on WLDC, and if you’re interested in being spotlighted, drop me a line. [...]

Photographer says DC cops detained him

‘Nacho #24′ courtesy of ‘Chris Rief aka Spodie Odie’ My pet project involves making sure photographers in the DC area are free to shoot without idiotic restrictions imposed by a sometimes-security-crazed bureaucracy. So it’s with some interest and outrage that I came across this blog post  by local photographer Jerome Vorus detailing an incident last Saturday [...]

She Shoots DC: Paige Weaver

’3.30.10′ courtesy of Paige Weaver Ever since I started our Weekend Flashback feature to start off your week, I’ve become fascinated with the myriad (just for you, Erin!) of photographers in our area. There’s such a wide range of talent, skill, expertise, and perspectives around here that’s worth sharing, so I decided to begin a [...]

‘a summer romance’ by ‘Blinkofanaye’ At 5:00 on any given Friday afternoon in the summer, Jazz in the  Garden is just getting started, and space quickly becomes scarce as hundreds of worker bees flock for a little wine, maybe a pitcher of (surprisingly potent for what you pay) sangria, a picnic and some tunes. It’s [...]

The Way We See It

The Way We See It, Brochure, 2010 Through their work, artists are able to convey and share their most personal thoughts and feelings with the public.  And the photography exhibit The Way We See It is the perfect example of young photographers doing just so. The non-profit AED’s Idea: Exchange is a new effort dedicated solely [...]

Weekend Flashback: 6/4 – 6/6/10

” courtesy of ‘Chris Rief aka Spodie Odie’ One of the best times of my Monday is when I get to scan our Flickr pool for shots taken over the weekend. I never, ever know what’s going to turn up or what great things our contributors drop into the mix. Even though many times there [...]

Weekend Flashback: 5/28 – 5/31/10

‘Rolling Thunder Salute, Memorial Day 2010 Washington DC’ courtesy of ‘Photos by Chip Py’ Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o’er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking. -Sir Walter Scott Many thanks to all of our active servicemen and women, reservists, and veterans who [...]

We Love Arts: One Hour Photo

Time is constant, it is unavoidable, it can be unattainable, and it is a commodity.  When someone we cherish is gone, we wish we had more time with them.  When a deadline is approaching we say, “If only I had a little more time.”  People say that life is short, but what they really mean [...]

Now You See It, Now You Don’t

A topic often discussed in photography, especially with regard to buying and selling, is the archival quality of the print.  When you are purchasing a photograph, much like investing in a classic car, you want it to last as long as possible without any colors fading.  Most photographers or dealers will print on “archival” paper [...]

Gone Hunting (for Photos)

Students at work in Adams Morgan by Corinne Whiting When you think DC, you don’t typically think “safari.” (Heck, with Tai Shan leaving us yesterday, now even the National Zoo seems far less exotic to explore.) But thanks to local photographer-entrepreneur E. David Luria, locals and visitors alike get the chance to go on a [...]

Weekend Flashback: 1/29 – 1/31/2010

‘single snowman’ courtesy of ‘philliefan99′ While Saturday proved to be more than just a ‘dusting,’ it was still less than our Snowpocalypse of December. And when there’s light, fluffy snow and a sunny day afterward, it’s just natural to have photographers out in droves to capture the beauty created around the capital area. Enjoy. Be [...]

National Archives to Ban Photography

‘National Archives Document Lighting’ courtesy of ‘Mr. T in DC’ This came to us as a special contribution of one of our photographers, Erin McCann Via the Post comes word today that the National Archives has decided to ban photography. That means that after next month, unless you are a professional photographer, you’ll be forbidden from [...]

For those of you who didn’t get out and about, don’t worry – our local photographers have you covered. Enjoy our look back at the weekend while you [...]
