Washington D.C. The margins of 250

June 2026

Washington, D.C., dressed up for its 250th birthday — flags, fences, monuments for the cameras. On the same sidewalks: a woman with a shopping cart and an apple, unnoticed beneath the banners. A street reportage on what a nation celebrates, and who it passes by.

The anniversary, worn a shirt
At the fence, looking in
On duty for the celebration
Keeping watch
