We have a soft spot for those that show the beauty of every-day people in Washington DC. Emily Wall of DC Here Now is one of the best and most diligent. Her photos have a dreamy sentimentality that we really enjoy.
No wonder her party at The Dunes had the same friendly welcoming feel, an extension of her own generous and approachable disposition.

As photos were removed they were replaced with new copies; a novel concept that engaged the attendees with the work.
Speaking of the attendees, there was some serious style to photograph:
