"DC. WEEKEND"

Here are some brief impressions from a short trip to DC.last weekend. Besides

the ongoing political fray that passes as the primary industry, it is also a city 

with a well deserved reputation as a museum destination, We filled up...

                        A restaurant wall in the Adams Morgan neighborhood.

                      

                        A street art reference to the large number of canine 

                         sniff squads that are out and about, (for your safety).

                        The Renwick had a show called “Wonder”, a favorite 

                         noun for all seasons. This was a small part of a room 

                         installation full of collages made from exotic beetles.

                        This anti-nuclear peace vigil, across the street from the

                        White House, was started in 1981. Concepcion Picciotto, 

                        who maintained the vigil, which is believed to be the 

                        longest-running political protest in U.S. history, died on 

                       January 25, 2016.

                     Mr Hopper at the Smithsonian, one of our premier national 

                     museums with a stellar collection of American art masterpieces.

                  Our friend Alec, brought us on a short tour of the FDR memorial.

                    For me, he still ranks, near the top of the various individuals who have occupied the presidential slot.

                      A stand in presidential limo was just finishing a film sequence

                      for an upcoming episode for “House of Cards”.

and a last misty view over the tidal basin…

NYC SKYLINE

 
     New Yorkers love their iconic skyline and I’ve been documenting the many and varied depictions for years. Unfortunately, the rapidly changing new skyline of skinny oligarch towers spiking up throughout will be much harder to romanticize.
