Weekend in Washington DC


Stayed with friends in Washington DC on my way to New York for a business trip. The weather was astoundingly warm and the leaves were hesitating to turn color. I took full advantage of my girlfriend, Cheri, who was willing to tour the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Annie Leibovitz exhibit. The Photographer's Life, 1990 - 2005, was a portrait of the artist and of the artists she photographed. It was a very personal journey, projecting a narrative of Annie's private world against the backdrop of her public image.

Following this we took a whirlwind walk through the National Gallery. Washington DC's Smithsonian Museum is a challenge for a weekender such as myself.
