Occasionally some combination of light and settings goes all crazy on my camera and I end up with these wild, gorgeous, colorful mistakes. Sometimes the things you don’t plan on end up being kind of amazing.

Hollywood in Washington II

I love this guy.

He goes by Hollywood, you might remember him.

He’s fascinating to talk to; we must have talked for 45 minutes there on the corner of 14th & P before heading in to Sav-On for a beer (he introduced me to the owner, whose name he insisted is also Sav-On).

Anyway, while we were in there another customer stopped to say hello and said that she’d seen Hollywood ever since she was a little girl growing up in NE Washington. It was like she was meeting a movie star a little bit. I love what she said next: “He is just himself. Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest, he IS Washington.”

Works in Progress, 14th Street

Corcoran students with a talented tattoo artist friend–both of their tattoos were “works in progress,” which is interesting because it’s something you just don’t see much of. I kind of like the way their tattoos look just like this, kind of stripped down.

Hers in the style of Sailor Jerry (I check out the site once in a while and I’m currently digging this).
