DescriptionIn 2010 and 2011 I set out on foot with another photographer once a week to explore and photograph the neighborhoods of DC. I had tracked down Lely Constantinople and befriended her because I admired a similar documenting of Georgia Avenue she had done in the 1990s. Having lived in DC since I graduated high school in 1993, I was seeing the city transform and wanted to preserve in images some of the character of the city I had known and appreciated before all vestiges of those times were no longer visible. These images celebrate individuals that took time and effort to beautify their homes, businesses and communities.
