This week’s photograph was taken from a vantage point that didn’t exist a year ago, in the build up of H Street, NE in Washington, DC. It’s fitting that the person who brought me to this place is the same one who introduced me to H Street, NE for the first time 6 years ago, …

This week’s photograph was taken in front of the Duke Ellington Statue, entitled “Encore,” in front of the about-to-be-redeveloped Duke Ellington Plaza. The statue was installed in 2012 and the Plaza will be undergoing a significant transformation. This photographs and others in this group show evidence that “improvements” are not evenly distributed across the population …

As I like to say, if I can walk to it, I’ll do it. And if it involves the future, I’m definitely doing it. This week’s photograph was taken at the House of Herrera (@HouseofHerrera), more specifically CH Carolina Herrera, in Washington, DC USA (of course). It features Consuella Lopez (@ConsuellaLopez) and the management and …

I was told that there are …

This week’s photograph is from the iconic Ben’s Chili Bowl, in Washington, DC USA (of course), where a beautiful new mural has replaced the one that featured Bill Cosby. The new mural was created by the same artist, Washington, DC’s Aniekan Udofia (@AniekanReloaded) who tells beautiful stories about Washington all over our city. You can …
