I took this photo using the in-camera double exposure mode and high contrast B&W filter on my 2013 Ricoh GR. The first shot is of a Ben’s Chili Bowl sign that was on display at the Martin Luther King Junior Library. After taking the first shot I walked across 9th Street NW to the Gallery Place/Chinatown station where I took the second shot of a list of Green Line stops, focusing on the U Street station. The main, original Ben’s Chili Bowl is located at 1208 U Street NW.
