Story Behind the Shot
We were sightseeing in Washington, DC—my husband on the phone, the kids already half a block ahead—and I’d fallen behind to photograph…a tree trunk. Right there near the White House, with statues and monuments everywhere, I was nose-to-bark studying the lichen. The colors and shapes looked like a tiny abstract landscape, and in that busy moment the quiet pattern felt like a secret worth keeping. That’s the spark behind DC Lichen—a small slice of wonder found where most people never think to look.
