oversized baggage December 6th, 2010
Just a guy riding the metro, going somewhere to jam. Wouldn’t want to have to carry that case around during rush hour…

a banana rides the metro November 10th, 2010
Just your average trip on the metro. Jammed in like sardines, and a banana.

These canopies at the NY Ave-FL Ave-Gallaudet Univ metro station look like they are competing for air rights. Funny thing is, water drips through the slots when it rains, rendering it less of a place to head for cover, and more of an area where you can play the “avoid-the-waterfall” game.

going up March 18th, 2010
…shot while exiting the metro at New York Avenue/Florida Avenue/Gallaudet University. This red line stop, which opened in 2004, happened to be the first in-fill station in the metro system, filling the gap between Rhode Island Avenue/Brentwood and Union Station.

I know it isn’t Halloween, but I still love these. February 24th, 2010
We have posted in the past about local artist Diabetik. This morning on my way to work I saw one of their candy-corn streetcones had migrated from the traffic island just north of Dupont Circle to the mezzanine level platform at the Dupont North metro entrance. I’m assuming that this was not an installation by the artist, but rather the work of a WMATA employee that needed a streetcone to mark the manhole cover, but perhaps I’m wrong. Either way, seeing this little guy at the bottom of the escalator made me smile and was a pleasant start to the day.
….though now I have a strange hunger for highly processed seasonal candy….

Another from the unintentional faces file, which many people might recognize from DC’s metro cars. I always see this little guy as a wide-faced robot, spewing forth a little beam of light onto the floors where the doors open, helping people find their way, without anyone even realizing he is down there.
Ok, now back to work.

expose this. January 8th, 2010
The beautiful (in my humble opinion) images that you see below are my submissions to the 2010 DCist Exposed photography show. This is my third year submitting photos to the contest – fingers crossed! The entry pool for the show this year includes 1,130 photos from 435 photographers. Tough competition would be an understatement. Exposed will open on March 6th at Longview Gallery (1234 9th St NW). It is a great showcase of local photographers and most certainly worth visiting.
This image is taken with a Holga at the Dupont Circle North metro station. I love how the long exposure was able to pull a fire out of the evening sky.
We watched the fireworks from Meridian Hill park this year. The gentleman that climbed the Joan of Arc sculpture had the best view in the house. His focused gaze up towards the theatrics is the sky is eerily similar to the look on Joan of Arc’s face as she charges into battle.
My final submission was snapped during my morning commute. It is taken with a Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim, a junk camera with a wide angle plastic lens. Even in the blustery weather that we have had recently, my morning rides always put me in a good mood. I think this photo captures the pure enjoyment of a leisurely ride.

the aftermath December 21st, 2009
Well, the flippin’ Federal Government got a snow day today, but for the rest of us it for was digging out, crawling over, and sloshing through what was left behind by the Blizzard of ‘09. I was still in my PJs this morning when I found out that Metro service at above-ground stations had resumed, just in time for the commute. So no matter about that 4 foot wall of snow blocking my car into it’s spot, I was out of excuses and it was off to work. It’s been a quiet day though, metro was pretty much empty anyways, compounded by the coming holiday and those with vacation days left to use up. Oh, and yeah, happy first day of winter!

the hustle December 17th, 2009
It’s not a very people-crowded shot, especially for the Chinatown Metro which is always among the busiest stations in the system, but still, it somehow reminds me of the hustle-bustle of the commute and of course the holidays. Everyone is running around like crazy chickens in a hurry to get to fancy parties and huge sales. Thankfully, I’ve just about finished all of my Christmas shopping in the past few days, and I’m only waiting for a few more Amazon packages to show up at my desk. I suspect though, that a lot of people out there (read: men), still have yet to begin. I don’t know what it is with those that can wait until the last second to shop. Maybe they just operate well under pressure, or maybe they just don’t feel the pressure at all. At the risk of sounding sexist, biased, whatever, I just don’t think men stress out and worry about gifts. They pick up something and go with it. Women are all like, “What if they doesn’t like this color sweater?” and then let the over-analyzing continue. Am I wrong? Wait, I thought I was talking about the Chinatown Metro…
