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

October 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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.

Croked Door to a Salon

October 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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

August 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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.
