A shot at the escalators of the Judiciary Square subway stop Washington D.C. USA, about 8:23 p.m. Nov 16.  I stopped here and took 10 shots, after traveling 27 miles to a lecture on Wei Wei at the Hirsshorn art museum.  When I got to the museum, after travleing for about an hour and a half, a guard told me; "Talk's been cancelled..  Speaker got sick this morning."  G-Damn.  So I photogrpaphed people at a subway stop.  This is my favorite shot of the 10.

Wei Wei’s Marble Construction Helmet

Wei Wei, China's greatest contemporary artist, is exhibiting down at the Hirsshorn Museum in Washington, D.C.  I saw the exhibit other day and made  videos of a couple of his works.  The one here is a marble life-size sculpture of a construction helmet.  After I loaded the video onto my computer, I watched it and took a picture of one of the frames.  I edited this picture some, and this is what I came up with.

The Blue Trash Can

Croked Door to a Salon

I was at a food festival yesterday in Bethesda Maryland USA; so I turned away from the food—the best picture is always behind you—and took this photograph. Perfect light: clouds which diffused the 9 a.m. stuff from the good old sun.

The Bird Man

I was planning to do a meaningful and relevant series on life at an entrance to the Foggy Bottom subway stop in Washington D.C. USA.  I tried a bunch of shots, people walking to and coming from the station’s escalators, merchants selling roses (6 for $3) hot dogs, hats and egg rolls.  Didn’t come up with much which I liked.  However, I found a couple shots just off the train stop, one across the street (a young man suckin’ on a cigarette), and in a little park by the stop, I found this man: the bird man feeding birds.  I thought he was the drunk type as I took pictures of him with his birds, but I spoke to him after I finished photographing, and clearly he was an intelligent and lucid man.  He said he worked as a model in the 1970s, and he said I had picked a good man to photograph.
