The one above from Quigley Brown cracked me up.

Below is a great sunrise shot from jehylton.

Below is a super cool shot from julia.m.

There are so many good entries. Sadly, I can’t take anymore entries. Winner announced Friday. So help me out with the one you like best. And don’t forget you can always join the PoPville Photo pool on flickr and contribute photos of the beautiful life. More after the jump. (more…)


Wow, this one blew me away. It’s super cool how it focuses on one and blurs out the crowd. It was submitted by Chris S.

Ed. Note: While most folks have tagged their photos with “popobamaweekcontest” in flickr I just wanted to let folks know that I’ve created a PoPville flickr pool here. So please join up and feel free to submit photos of the beautiful life whenever you’d like.


This comes from “arisenders”. I really love how the trees look in this photo surrounded by huge crowds.

I’ve gotten tons of good entries so far and am still accepting more through Friday. You can email them to me directly or tag them in flickr with popobamaweekcontest. Congrats “arisenders” on this great shot. Another cool shot by arisenders after the jump. (more…)


This one’s going to be a bit more difficult but the homes on the left hand side of the picture should tip you off. Anyone recognize it?


Maybe if they came with an icepick they’d be more useful. Nope. No one uses blocks of ice anymore either. This has got to be the biggest waste of paper since I attended college. Hell they can keep delivering them once every couple of years but I’m nearly certain I receive these useless phone books twice a year. Any predictions on when they’ll stop delivering these useless door stops? Or is the telephone book industry as powerful as I’m beginning to suspect they are…


It might be a whole different story in the evening but during the day it was pretty sweet. Anyone recognize it?


You never know who is going to show up. First it was WJLA Anchor, Maureen Bunyan.

And and now it’s Mario Van Peebles who may be one of the coolest people I’ve ever met.

I was fortunate enough to attend a meet and greet before the official 5th bloom of bloom, last Saturday, featuring “African Diaspora for Obama” to help get out the vote. From their Web site:

In the “Fifth Bloom of Bloom,” BloomBars has joined forces with African Diaspora for Obama for a night of Music, Art & Inspiration to GET OUT THE VOTE. Mario Van Peebles was our featured speaker along with musical performances by Yvette Benjamin, Kuku, Vicky Leyva, Mbuutu, Anna Mwalagho, Ssuuna and many more.”

Point is, you don’t want to miss the next event at Bloombars located at 3222 11th St NW near Wonderland. You can find upcoming events here.
