Row of trashcans …or row of sentinel robots lined up ready to roll at you? Maybe I have an overactive imagination.

Making the most of extra space! Spotted in Adams Morgan, outside of Capital Hemp.

This graffiti in Adams Morgan has creepy movie material written all over it. Or painted all over it. Or, whatever…
Check out this awesome stop-motion animation of evolution, by Blu. Now THIS is a LOT of paint. And a lot of free time.
BIG BANG BIG BOOM – the new wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Just one more of the many recognizable murals found on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. According to Cultural Tourism DC , this one was painted from a photo by restaurant owner André Neveux in 1980.
The figure is cabaret singer Aristide Bruant, as painted by the famous Parisian Toulouse-Lautrec.
This photograph was one in a set of “black-white-color” images that Matt created in his set of framed photography for the hallways of Union Row.
Some people think that the fear of clowns comes from not being able to distinguish their emotions. If a clown has a painted-on smile around their lips, how will you know if they are sad?? Isn’t this really just the fear of the unknown?
A combination of images from sunset and midnight on 2/19 and sunrise and noon on 2/20, compiled into 24 hours of glorious Adams Morgan. View it large and see if you can find the piece of discarded Jumbo Slice Pizza. (hint: it’s on the right-hand side of the image).

Yin – Yang , in Chinese philosophy, represents direct opposites that interact with, and balance against, each other. There is the earthly, dark, cold, feminine force (Yin) and the heavenly, light, warm, masculine force (Yang). They complement and influence each other in a way that one force promotes what the other may inhibit, and are found throughout nature, the mind, and the body. It is a balance between excessiveness and deficiency. In other words, if you eat a cupcake, you must then eat some vegetables. Or, if you already own a cat, then you should also get a dog… and I’m sure there are others.

I’m sure I could wax philosophical about here “out-with-the-old” and “in-with-the-new” … but I’ll just let the rusty box and the new box be.

Spotted in Adams Morgan. Who is this guy? What story do you give him?
