Challenge: What does the "real DC" look like?


So I'm at work, searching through stock photos to find an interesting and fun image of DC that doesn't show a monument or the Capitol. I'm 100 images into my search and every single image has a national monument in it. No wonder people think DC is boring!

I know for a fact that there are a ton of stock shooters in DC, and I challenge them to diversify their portfolio and show real images of DC: U St, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, 9:30 Club, people running on Rock Creek Parkway, people running on the waterfront past the Kennedy Center, runners in general... Seriously, it's all people do here. George Clooney's character from Burn After Reading nailed it on the head when he repeatedly states "It's still early; I can fit in a run."

Submit your photos to tara.kocourek@gmail.com (keep em at 72dpi thanks!) so we can start a visual collection of true DC life. I'll post them all - credited to you of course - at the beginning of March.

That would help, right? Send them to me at tara.kocourek@gmail.com, and I'll post them in early March.
