Slip into a high-backed [...]

In the spring of 2004, I spent the semester in D.C., interning at the Sackler Gallery. When it wasn’t raining, I would walk to work at the National Mall from my dorm in Dupont Circle, taking pictures of the flowerbeds surrounding the embassies along the way.

In my last post, I mentioned the cherry blossoms [...]
