Thank you for using my photos in May’s WETA Arts, highlighting Washington, DC’s vibrant drag scene

Thank you WETA Arts (@wetatvfm) for using a selection of my photographs in May’s episode.

WETA’s magazine-style series WETA Arts spotlights locally-focused stories on arts and culture. This month: Go inside the Capitol as Curator of the Capitol Dr. Michele Cohen describes efforts to restore damaged art; award-winning playwright-director-actor Psalmayene 24 creates The Freewheelin’ Insurgents, a film that channels Black Lives Matter activism into his love of the local theater scene; see a bureaucrat-by-day, drag queen-by-night compete to lead a local philanthropic LGBTQ+ organization in Josh Davidsburg’s documentary Queen of the Capital; and host Felicia Curry speaks with Julie Kent, artistic director of The Washington Ballet, about adapting dance to the pandemic.

The show will stream starting 5/4 and will be broadcast on WETA PBS and WETA METRO:

I actually don’t know which of my photographs are being used (that’s the way creative commons licenses work, the creator gets to decide), however I’ll be watching, with gratitude for WETA’s work to support Washington, DC’s LGBTQ community.
