A series of articles and photo collections focussing on happenings in Washington D.C. – and doubtless many other large urban centres across the globe – during the small hours.

Looking Into the Past, a photo project by Jason Powell who literally juxtaposes an old photo over a present day street scene, or building, in Washington DC. An interesting way to look back in time.

Joshua Bell played on his violin (worth $3.5 million by the way) in a Washington DC train station unnoticed for almost an hour. At least he made $32 for his trouble.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
