The morning light is beautiful in this photo of people walking with a sign that perfectly captures the mood in DC.

This photo was taken during an antiwar protest behind the Times Square US Army recruiting office in the lead up to the January regime change operation in Venezuela. I captured an enormous advertisement behind the protest proclaiming, “Jesus is coming,” as well as a Taco Bell sign.

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.

I love this old neon sign that still lights up in Cleveland Park every night despite the original Club Soda bar being closed for years. This space has rotated hands a few times since then, but the sign stays the same.
