Over the next few weeks I’ll be taking advantage of the reasonable temperatures, blue skies, and low humidity of autumn to prepare a series of photo essays on some of Washington’s more famous or interesting streets. Each weekend, or whenever I have the opportunity, I will prepare a photo tour of one street. I’ll pick start and end points and simply walk straight down that one corridor, without major deviation.

16th Street from Mount Pleasant to the White House is the first installment.
