Band playing in the Red Carpet Lounge of the Pitts Motor Hotel in the 1950’s. “In the sixties, the Pitts Hotel was a showplace, and Cornelius Pitts was one of Washington’s most successful black entrepreneurs. His hotel attracted not only tourists and traveling businessmen but local customers, black and white. They lined up at the Red Carpet Lounge, which featured valet parking and a maitre d’, to listen to the likes of Aretha Franklin. “The place stayed packed,’ a former regular said. “The drinks weren’t that high. You didn’t feel like you were getting ripped off. The music was great. And the minute you walked in, you felt comfortable there.’ This photograph is copyrighted by Aladdin Color Inc and can not be reproduced in any way.

oil/digital I did this work out of respect, and a hope for a better future. Even though there’s great wounding, I wanted it to be green as a symbol for new life and hope. The proceeds from this piece will be going to the DC Save Darfur campaign. savedarfur.org / ’Save Darfur’&:http://www.savedarfur.org Thanks! Mechelle

thanks so much ROMO / for allowing me to play with your image: / / from Romo’s picture of DC, / to the manipulative entrails of my PC… / distortions…using grid meshes and a perspective plug-in / digital paintings… the sun and the birds of sin, / dodges and burns and many a transparency, / to create the disturbed sky of mystery… / a dab of color enhancements and camera flares, / to constitute that dramatic effect imbuing nightmares… / channel mixers and noise reductions, / threshholds, 3d effects and tone corrections… / all constitute the creation / of this incubus amalgamation / of the horrific tribulation that besets / that Person in office…, yes in sorrow he frets….

Image was taken in Washington DC, at one of the many Metro stations. I love the contrast between items in motion and the stationary objects. Processed with Redynamix to give it a slight HDR feel. Taken with Nikon D50 and Nikkor 18-70mm lens.

Can’t quite remember why the US flag was at half-staff, when I took this shot back in 2007. Finally took the opportunity to work on this image of the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC. This is an HDR image, with some add’l post preocessing steps applied (light Orton effect & dodge & burn). Photo was made with a Nikon D50 and I have no idea what lens I used.

Multiverse, the largest and most complex light sculpture created by American artist Leo Villareal , may now be experienced by visitors as they pass through the Concourse walkway between the East and West Buildings of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The work features approximately 41,000 computer-programmed LED nodes that run through channels along the entire 200-foot-long space. Mesmerizing it is, I could not pull myself away from this art. Thank you Cora Wandel for being a great hostess to your beautiful city !!!!!!!! / canon 5D mark ll / canon 17mm / f /4 / monochrome

the cream of the crop, this was how I really learned about dry painting. the original artist use oils and I used acrylics it ended up pretty damn close but I had to use a dry brush technic at the time had no idea how to do after the painting was done I knew how to. Not a Lobo fan, but I love this painting. for those who don’t know who Lobo was, he was DC comic’s answer to Wolverine during the 90s. this painting as taken after the cover of Lobo #1 and painted on the back of a jean vest. / close up: /

DETAIL / I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping / While my guitar gently weeps / I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping / Still my guitar gently weeps I don’t know why nobody told you / how to unfold you love / I don’t know how someone controlled you / they bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it’s turning / While my guitar gently weeps / With every mistake we must surely be learning / Still my guitar gently weeps I don’t know how you were diverted / you were perverted too / I don’t know how you were inverted / no one alerted you Best Sellers T-Shirts / / / / / / / / / / /

Featured in the ImageWriting group, / in the Canon DSLR group, / in the AMERICAN PATRIOT group (2x), / in the United States group and / in the Historic Places group. The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. / (American Historic Heritage) The Tomb of the Unknowns (also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. Sentinels, all volunteers, are considered to be the best of the elite 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), headquartered at Fort Myer, Va. After members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry become ceremonially qualified, they are eligible to volunteer for duty as sentinels at the Tomb. If accepted, they are assigned to Company E of The Old Guard. Each soldier must be in superb physical condition, possess an unblemished military record and be between 5 feet, 10 inches and 6 feet, 4 inches tall, with a proportionate weight and build. An interview and a two-week trial to determine a volunteer’s capability to train as a tomb guard is required. During the trial phase, would-be sentinels memorize seven pages of Arlington National Cemetery history. This information must be recited verbatim in order to earn a “walk.” A walk occurs between guard changes. A daytime walk is one-half hour in the summer and one hour in the winter. All night walks are one hour. If a soldier passes the first training phase, “new-soldier” training begins. New sentinels learn the history of Arlington National Cemetery and the grave locations of nearly 300 veterans. They learn the guard-change ceremony and the manual of arms that takes place during the inspection portion of the Changing of the Guard. Sentinels learn to keep their uniforms and weapons in immaculate condition. The sentinels will be tested to earn the privilege of wearing the silver Tomb Guard Identification Badge after several months of serving. First, they are tested on their manual of arms, uniform preparation and their walks. Then, the Badge Test is given. The test is 100 randomly selected questions of the 300 items memorized during training on the history of Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknowns. The would-be badge holder must get more than 95 percent correct to succeed. Only 400 Tomb Guard Badges have been awarded since it was created in February 1958. The Tomb Guard Identification Badge is a temporary award until the badge-holding sentinel has honorably served at the Tomb of the Unknowns for nine months. At that time, the award can be made a permanent badge, which may then be worn for the rest of a military career. The silver badge is an upside-down, laurel-leaf wreath surrounding a depiction of the front face of the Tomb. Peace, Victory and Valor are portrayed as Greek figures. The words “Honor Guard” are shown below the Tomb on the badge. There are three reliefs, each having one relief commander and about six sentinels. The three reliefs are divided by height so that those in each guard change ceremony look similar. The sentinels rotate walks every hour in the winter and at night, and every half-hour in the day during the summer. The Tomb Guard Quarters is staffed using a rotating Kelly system. Each relief has the following schedule: first day on, one day off, second day on, one day off, third day on, four days off. Then, their schedule repeats. The guard is changed every hour on the hour Oct. 1 to March 31 in an elaborate ritual. From April 1 through September 30, there are more than double the opportunities to view the change because another change is added on the half hour and the cemetery closing time moves from 5 to 7 p.m. An impeccably uniformed relief commander appears on the plaza to announce the Changing of the Guard. Soon the new sentinel leaves the Quarters and unlocks the bolt of his or her M-14 rifle to signal to the relief commander to start the ceremony. The relief commander walks out to the Tomb and salutes, then faces the spectators and asks them to stand and stay silent during the ceremony. The relief commander conducts a detailed white-glove inspection of the weapon, checking each part of the rifle once. Then, the relief commander and the relieving sentinel meet the retiring sentinel at the center of the matted path in front of the Tomb. All three salute the Unknowns who have been symbolically given the Medal of Honor. Then the relief commander orders the relieved sentinel, “Pass on your orders.” The current sentinel commands, “Post and orders, remain as directed.” The newly posted sentinel replies, “Orders acknowledged,” and steps into position on the black mat. When the relief commander passes by, the new sentinel begins walking at a cadence of 90 steps per minute. The Tomb Guard marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb, turns, faces east for 21 seconds, turns and faces north for 21 seconds, then takes 21 steps down the mat and repeats the process. After the turn, the sentinel executes a sharp “shoulder-arms” movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the sentinel stands between the Tomb and any possible threat. Twenty-one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed—the 21-gun salute. Duty time when not “walking” is spent in the Tomb Guard Quarters below the Memorial Display Room of the Memorial Amphitheater where they study Cemetery “knowledge,” clean their weapons and help the rest of their relief prepare for the Changing of the Guard. The guards also train on their days off. The Guards of Honor at the Tomb of the Unknowns are highly motivated and are proud to honor all American service members who are “Known But to God.” Canon EOS 40D / Canon Zoom lens EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens / Exposure time 1/500s / Aperture value f/5,6 / ISO 400 / Focal length 85 mm

A sculpture on exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC that captures a child’s attention. The artist is Ron Mueck, whose sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. This sculpture is part of an exhibition called Strange Bodies and its permanent home is now in DC at the Hirshhorn.
