Just part of the massive H-shaped facade of the east wing of the National Gallery of Art , designed by I.M. Pei.

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).

Call me an nerd, but I just love HALF addresses. Especially this one, because it appears to just be “HALF.” No other numbers or extraneous letters. I wonder if the fire department has more trouble finding these fractional locations. I’ve seen them frequently labeled as such (for example, 641 1/2) but never as decimals 641.5. What gives?

Some alleyway lights and shop windows in Georgetown, from the last time we wandered over there a few weeks ago. We had every intention to make it over there yesterday, but it was snowing (again) pretty hard by the time we stepped out the door, so conditions for taking more photos were pretty lame. Instead, we decided to go get some homemade pizza. Only we couldn’t find the place we were looking for. So we got some noodles instead. yum yum nom.

   

On another note, happy birthday to JJ (”Free the Tacos.org”) one of Juxtaexposed’s biggest readers and possibly our biggest fan.

free! February 12th, 2010

   

DC is back at work today after a nearly weeklong snow vacation. Now, it’s just a matter of moving all the rest of the white stuff out of the way, into these massive grey-snow mountains that won’t likely melt until April. At least this box of publications is not only free, but mostly still accessible without the help of a sherpa.

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.

A cool shot of the lights at The Warehouses at Union Row, 14th and V Street NW, shot with an Olympus XA.

Help January 19th, 2010

   

   

Piles of donations turned up over the weekend at the Haitian Embassy on Massachusetts Avenue in DC. Matt rode his bicycle over there to drop off the toiletries and clothing we were able to round up from our apartment. (I don’t believe they are still accepting donations into the week other than money).

enter here January 15th, 2010

   

Well this is just an awesome semi-secret entry way to a home in Logan Circle. I’ve deduced that the owner must not be very tall. Either that, or they don’t mind their head being swept by bushes every time they get home.
