Underneath the Bleachers

You’ve met Phil before. A bunch of times: here, here, here, here, here, and here. He lives just outside DC and over the last few weeks walked the city, documenting inaugural preparations as well as the ceremony itself. He created one of the most remarkable inauguration photo collections out there on Flickr.

This shot — which he took under some parade-route bleachers close to the White House — shows up his eye for light and pattern:

Phil is, he assures me, just an amateur photographer who sometimes happens to be “in the right place at the right time.”
