1st Place: Pond, Robert Weinstein
Many thanks to all the artists who submitted their work! In images (and words) they convey their unique and personal views of what makes a home a “Capitol Hill Home”.
2nd Place: 11118 Park St. NE, Stephen Morris
3rd Place: 154 11th St. SE, Stephanie Cavanaugh (notice the intriguing sliver of chippendale railings)
Special Mention: Striking images of the US Capitol – the Home of Democracy
Artist’s statement: I think that the fencing of the Capitol disrupted our community when we needed it most, whether for dog walking, safe socialising, or calm reflecting. Like others, I’m grateful for the steps that the Capitol police have taken in pulling back the fence, but I believe that the fence remains the antithesis of the openness and inclusion that the Capitol Hill community is about. – Nathaniel Liu

And last-but-not-least, a bit of serendipity from Jan Zastrow: “I guess my images are “anti-glamour” 🙂 But still, I think, a legitimate reflection of many unique Capitol Hill homes.”
 120 12th St. SE, Jan Zastrow “Sporting a rotating seasonal exhibit–often with a political message–this Capitol Hill neighbor offers ‘a lot of heart’.” |
 1259 C St. SE, Jan Zastrow “A longtime C Street resident entrances passersby with a dizzying array of collectibles.” |
 1114 E St. SE, Jan Zastrow “A fun and quirky place with lots of personality.. I think it’s ‘quintessential’ because of its multicultural references with the pots and masks; the cozy seating area–perfect to sit with a bevvie and watch the world go by; and its quirky sculptures (love the bird!)” |
