Hi folks. I know it’s been slow around here lately. After my drive back from Norfolk last week, my tooth that had been bothering me a bit took a serious turn for the worst, dragging me down root canal lane. Things aren’t exactly fixed over here, but I did see a professional and I’m actually not in pain. If you have ever had a toothache, you know that it is damn near impossible to do anything until the pain goes away. That includes photography.
I had twenty minutes or so to kill before it was time for me to meet up with some friends in Dupont (congratulations to Sara on the promotion!). Of everywhere in the city – Gallery Place, Georgetown, monuments, Smithsonian – there is one place that always has a photo waiting to happen. That place is the DC Metro. I can always tell when I’m in a creative rut by going to the metro. If I can’t find anything I want to take a picture of, it is decidedly rut time. Fortunately, that same place can also pull me out of said rut. It is so easy to be intrigued and inspired by the scenes underground. A few from yesterday:
Dear friends and readers, it’s that time of year again to make a decision on what to submit to the DCist Exposed photography show. I’ve submitted for the last two years and am ashamed to admit that I’ve put a lot of energy into hoping to be picked and then not being picked. This is my year!
