I’m a little delayed on posting this, but there’s been an awesome exhibit at DC’s African Art Museum by Yinka Shonibare. He takes classic scenes portrayed in previous art works (literature, operas, paintings, etc.) and reconstructs them using colorful textiles, headless mannequins, or erotic positioning to show a completely different perspective. Although, no photography was allowed, I snapped a couple shots. Don’t tell anyone.
oh, it’s all too real

The past weekend was an adventure for anyone living in the capital city, thanks to the first blizzard of the season. It reminds me of when I was a kid. Gradually, snow storms would start further and further into winter, making everyone ask “Will we have a white Christmas?” And sure enough, a blizzard would come just before the holiday and cover everything with it’s beautiful, yet bitter cold ornament. I had forgotten about those winters, when snow angels line the streets, grocery stores close early, and adults get snow days too.
