{"title":"Washington DC Wall Art","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWashington DC Wall Art reflects a city shaped by history, monuments, and national character. I’ve photographed the Capitol glowing in evening light, the Lincoln Memorial standing in quiet strength, and streets where past and present meet. Each image turns the symbols of the nation’s capital into fine art, highlighting both grandeur and detail. Washington DC wall art brings presence into a space, offering visuals that feel timeless, reflective, and deeply tied to America’s story.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lincoln-memorial-columns-washington-monument-black-and-white","title":"Lincoln Memorial Columns Framing Washington Monument Black and White Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLong Shadows Lead Between Columns Towards the Reflecting Pool\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong strips of sunlight cross the floor before my eye reaches the monuments beyond. I photographed this view from within the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, looking outward between its immense columns. The Washington Monument appears much smaller through the opening on the left, with the Reflecting Pool extending towards it. In black and white, that distance becomes especially clear: the nearby architecture has weight and texture, while the distant obelisk is a narrow pale shape against the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wanted the columns to remain the strongest presence, so I kept their height and the floor beneath them together in the frame. Their fluted surfaces carry alternating bands of light and shade, and the shadows stretch diagonally towards the foreground. Two visitors stand between the columns, giving the structure a human measure. Other people appear farther away near the pool, becoming smaller still. Those changes in scale let the photograph move from the memorial’s interior into the open space outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat interests me is how the scene combines a formal architectural arrangement with an ordinary moment of visiting and looking. The people give the view a different rhythm from the repeated columns. Above them, textured clouds fill the narrow openings and soften the strict lines of the building. The floor’s pattern of light gives the eye a path into the picture. For me, the photograph holds several ways of experiencing the same place: close attention to the stone, the scale of the columns, and the longer view across the capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2016\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571318722639,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592362131535,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40737242775631,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67593078669391,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40737242808399,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593910288463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40737242841167,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594652942415,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40737242873935,"sku":"","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595583225935,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40737242906703,"sku":"","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600639852623,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185699201103,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596591300687,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185751564367,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805480321103,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804788326479,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804844425295,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747665084495,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Lincoln-Memorial-Columns-Framing-Washington-Monument-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1791950367"},{"product_id":"dramatic-washington-dc-monument-wall-art","title":"Washington Monument From Below Dramatic Architectural Photography","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo Stone Faces Converge Against a Dark Blue-Grey Sky\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding beneath the Washington Monument, I looked up along the sharp corner that divides its two faces.

Its sides spread toward the lower corners, then narrow as they rise.

The blocks remain visible across both faces, making a fine texture beneath the larger shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sky has enough variation to keep the background from becoming flat. Softer streaks sit around the darker outline, contrasting with the regular courses of stone. I wanted the light to separate the two surfaces clearly, while leaving detail in the shaded face. That balance keeps the monument substantial even in such a close view. For me, the photograph holds the physical experience of looking upward from its base.
