Alternative Washington, DC

I have an intermittent project to photograph the different cities within Washington, DC. In addition to the stately monuments and government buildings, the city has its residents, office workers, tourists, demonstrators, and the occasional politician. In that sense it is much like most any largish US city, but it certainly has its own flavor. These images are my interpretation of the other city.
