@wowindc tweets us the photo above seen on “L St btw 15/16 NW DC”.
We haven’t seen one that big before but I’m guessing it’s still part of the Digital Design & Imaging Service project we’ve spoken about in the past.
Another reader sends another shot below:
Thanks to all who sent photos while I was on vacation the other week. Looks like the folks from Air Photos Live, a “Digital Design & Imaging Service” have returned. You can read some background on them after previous sightings here.
Photo of the 3500 block of 17th Street, NW via google imaging
Thanks to all who sent emails and tweets about the disturbing discovery of dead chickens and roosters along the 3500 block of 17th St, NW along Rock Creek Park in Mt. Pleasant. The Washington Post reported:
“Sgt. Lelani Woods, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Park Police, said the uniform way each bird was killed is leading investigators to believe the killings were part of a cult practice. The bodies were turned over to animal control officers. Woods said police believe the birds were killed elsewhere and dumped along a makeshift path sometime before snow started to fall Tuesday morning.”
On Friday @mikedeliso tweeted us the photo above and asks:
“@PoPville you have any idea what this balloon is? Shot from 20th and q at the DuPont north exit.”
And last night @chatelainedc tweets with an even eerier photo:
“I really want to know what the white circular thing w/ a suspended light floating in the sky over Dupont is. Anyone?”
We first started spotting these balloons back in 2009 and learned they were from Air Photos Live, a “Digital Design & Imaging Service”. Then last May we noticed more balloons over and around the arboretum. At that time we learned from the DC Office of Planning:
PoPville: The balloon was launched by Digital Design and Imaging Inc. to take aerial photos of the District’s skyline as part of the joint Height Master Plan the DC Office of Planning and the National Capital Planning Commission are conducting in response to a Congressional request. The Mayor issued a press release yesterday announcing the consultant teams working with the District on this study. DDIS is one of our consultants for the Height Master Plan modeling analysis. For more information on the study, please visit http://www.ncpc.gov/heightstudy. The Mayor’s press release about the consultants is here: http://mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-vincent-c-gray-announces-districts-consultant-teams-study-citys-building-heights

This morning @chatelainedc updates us with the latest from Digital Design and Imaging Inc.
“email I got from DDI “It was a unmanned aerostat balloon, shooting L’Enfants layout of streets in the crisp wintery air”
So it’s not the aliens, for now…

Dear PoPville,
As I was leaving the arboretum today I noticed a white surveillance balloon rising above New York Ave east of Bladensburg road.
No idea what this is about. but it seemed kind of peculiar.
It looks like it is Air Photos Live, a “Digital Design & Imaging Service”. In the past we’ve seen them spotted them on 14th Street in Logan Circle.

I stumbled upon this intriguing poster in Glover Park. For some reason Glover Park is one of the few neighborhoods where I always seem to get lost. Of course if I hadn’t gotten lost I never would have seen this. It could be the oddest poster I’ve ever seen (the advice to not touch raccoons is a close second). I feel like the flier is almost more interesting without all the info. The section that was ripped out or rather the section that is left is fascinating.
Shot in the dark: anyone know the story here?
For the creative types: If anyone wants to take a crack at imaging the rest of the writing, I’ll gladly give the best one a PoP t-shirt.

Oh, it is Air Photos Live, a “Digital Design & Imaging Service”.
Not sure how many folks saw this balloon on 14th Street, NW across from the Black Cat last Sunday, but it was quite an unusual sight.
I’d love to see the photos of 14th Street that this balloon caught. You can see some amazing shots from other projects in their gallery here.
I thought I had read somewhere that a bar or restaurants was going to move into the old Visions Movie Theater space located at 1927 Florida Ave, NW. Am I imaging that? Anyway, it turns out that the Non Profit AED has moved into the space. From their Web site:
“AED is a nonprofit organization working globally to improve education, health, civil society and economic development–the foundation of thriving societies.
In collaboration with local and national partners, AED fosters sustainable results through practical, comprehensive approaches to social and economic challenges. AED implements more than 250 programs serving people in all 50 U.S. states and more than 150 countries.”
Sounds like a great organization.
I just noticed the great clothing store, Caramel is hosting a pretty sweet photography exhibit. Sadly, we missed the opening reception but it’s still definitely worth stopping by to check out the photos. Caramel is located at 1603 U Street right across the street from Stetsons and Local 16.
The Space Between
A Selection of Photos by Sherry L. Brukbacher (www.brukbacher.com)
January 23rd – March 15th
The work in this exhibit represents Sherry’s desire to go beyond capturing a moment. She strives to do what photographers she admires have done – to somehow be alive inside the moment – to be at once voyeur and participant transporting the viewer into the space between lens and subject. For more than a decade Sherry has been pursuing photography professionally and as fine art. She studied at Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts and currently works for National Geographic Magazine.
