smokey March 10th, 2010

   

Fantastic signage for Smokey’s Barbershop and Oldies on H Street. Full sign from inked78 on Flickr, and a much better framing of the thing by Muckraker.

   

I wonder if a Smokey’s haircut is any good?

anyone coulrophobic? March 2nd, 2010

   

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?

come on little spring lambs March 1st, 2010

   

Annnnd it’s March in DC, I think I can safely speak for everyone when I say I’m ready to skip ahead to the part where we go out like a lamb… Ready to stop bundling up and walking past tall piles of stinky black snow, ready to take Bowser to play in the park, and ready to justify trips to eat Fro-Yo. I’m talking to you, lions. Go away.

24 hours of AdMo February 22nd, 2010

   

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).

respect January 27th, 2010

   

Someone found (what they thought was) a secluded spot for a rest, and perhaps lunch?, on H St NE.

come together January 26th, 2010

   

Love this acute angled corner with bricks just jutting off the edge. It gives it much more texture than a clean corner. I’m not sure if there is a name for this technique (thanks a lot, architecture school) but it looks very Arts and Crafts style to me.

round bay January 22nd, 2010

   

I do love round bays on rowhouses, like this one in Logan Circle. They make for great bedrooms with windows to peep out of and observe what is happening on the street below. Of course, they also make it tricky to place furniture, sometimes.
