The Cherry Blossoms of Washington, DC: Film Soup Edition
We weren’t intending on spending a March weekend in Washington, DC, but the weather had other plans. We were en route to New York City when we were diverted to Baltimore because of heavy fog delaying our ability to land. My mother-in-law lives in DC, so we decided that we’d head over and visit with her and try NYC again in the morning.
One long day at the airport later, after numerous delays and ultimately a cancelled flight, New York just wasn’t in the cards for us. But we weren’t able to fly home until Sunday, so a weekend in DC it was!
Our unexpected stay ended up being worth it—we got to see the cherry trees in full, glorious bloom.
Of course, I couldn’t just take “normal” photos of the blossoms.
I had to experiment with one of my favorite techniques—film soup!
What resulted were these colorful, unique perspectives of the infamous flowers.
One of the many reasons why I love film soup—reimagining scenes, places and things and seeing them in a new way.
