nels Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I was in DC last weekend, visiting an old buddy of mine from college who just relocated there. Love the place, and will go back in fall for another trip. Hate the muggy weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hate the sight of digital. I'm a well known film die-hard. Develop my own film in the wet darkroom, with agitation helped by the resident Rap DJ Brad. Check the EXIF, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Just realised, pbase doesn't link EXIF to files smaller than original size. Your better bet is to check the stuff out <a href="http://www.pbase.com/nels_olvin/metro">here</a> at original sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mitchell dc Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Nice stuff! I haven't found the Metro here beautiful for 25 years. Thanks for the reawakening. I rarely use it anymore, as I live near the cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_shriver Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Rosslyn station, first day, July 1, 1977. Note that the only signage is still the pylons. Advertisments? Telephones? Safety warnings? Crowds? Dimple strips for the blind? All in the future... The escalators were very fast then, too! That's why there are so many level steps at each end. The lawyers have since solved that. Ektachrome film, presumably High Speed Ektachrome. Topcon Super-D. Could be either 58/1.8 or 35/2.8 lens.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Friendship Heights rotunda, also in the innocent early days. One of the coolest spaces in the system. Kodachrome 64, with some rather forceful color corrections - it doesn't like the mixed fluorescent and vapor lights. Topcon Super-D again, probably with 25/3.5 lens.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nels Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 John, Very nice to see a historical perspective on places like this. Thanks for sharing. I found DC Metros to be among the most architecturally compelling metro stations anywhere. Sadly I only managed to snap a few shots while on my way in and out to catch trains, wishing I had more time. I did spend quite a bit of time at the totally awesome and stunning Union Station, and have about 4GB of shots to sort through....someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
