Up Close with DECOY, Part 2

In the print edition of Worn Magazine we interview and photograph DECOY, a DC artist who moved from alley to gallery but still keeps a big hand on the street.  Also a professor of art at the Fridge DC on Capitol Hill, Alicia gave us too many images to choose from.  I photographed her in [...]

Walk the Earth Day

After fighting a cold all weekend and waking up from a three-hour nap on Sunday afternoon, I decided to make my way down to the Earth Day Concert on the Smithsonian Mall.  During my second nap on the metro platform (Red line: 18 minutes, Orange line: 15 minutes, UGH!) I dreamt of tie dye, nudists, [...]

Living in the District of Chic

Continuing our exploration of local fashion bloggers, we discovered the District of Chic.  Who, just like Bug, has a combination of energy and style to surprise us almost every day with something new (Chic has been running a blog for two years).  I photographed her in a few locations, but this storefront in Cleveland Park [...]

Vendor Profile: Mid City Caffe on 14th Street

Atop Miss Pixie’s at 1626 14th Street and the focus of our second vendor profile, Mid City Caffe is more than beans.  Artwork adorns every wall, local musicians play acoustic, and they’re starting to serve sandwiches.  Also, both cafe rooms are available for private events and there’s outdoor seating downstairs.  Oh, did I mention you [...]

Worn Out: The Patriot, Part 2

I was never going to post this photo, but the bald and beautiful Ms. Larsen deserves a second showing (plus recently, the slightly less bald Christina reminded me of her).  It’s hard to believe the combination V was wearing underneath this coat, but she explained how her corduroy hoodie is a catch all for her [...]

Living in the Dupont of Wellington

Wellies are everywhere in DC and I never tire of photographing them.  It brings out the kid in me.  I found these blue polka dots last week, but saw plenty more at the Earth Day Concert today on the Smithsonian Mall.  Of the 50 or so pairs I have on film, only two or three [...]

Andrew Wodzianski Lives in a Box on U Street

My first impression of Andrew Wodzianski came from his opening at Flashpoint in October 2009, a solo show involving a series of paintings based on the 1959 horror film House on Haunted Hill (his knowledge of cinema is extraordinary).  Except Andrew never showed up at the reception.  Instead, visitors were left to guess whether he [...]

Worn Out: The Buzz Cut

Christina is a George Washington University student who shaved her head to raise money for kids with cancer.  I first spotted her in Dupont Circle (déjà vu anyone?) and it took me five blocks to chase her down.  I trotted up New Hampshire, through Corcoran, up 17th, across R, past 16th and then just before [...]

Dupont Circle: Look and Listen, Part 4

I ran into these English students from Gabon again yesterday.  We watched a man wearing sunglasses, spandex and headphones bunny hop his giant mountain bike up and down the Dupont Circle fountain, then ride around popping wheelies, completely oblivious to everyone nearby.  It was the same tricks I did on my BMX bike when I [...]
