Washington D.C. is a city with a rich history and monumental buildings. Planned to rival the architectural splendor of cities such as Athens and Paris, it would instead become a curious blend of structured vision, and often times, unstructured development; of grand marble and granite government buildings and wooden steel and brick commercial structures. Color and historic black and white photography take the reader on a dramatic, yet at the same time, familiar, journey.  Hardbound, 144 pp. 2000
