Some days are surprisingly productive others are not. Last Wednesday was one of those murky days until I saw these skateboarders at the Freedom Plaza, downtown DC.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span> These skateboarders had energy of horses. They performed several skateboarding tricks and stunts while I captured their action. During my 45- minutes stay at the Freedom Plaza, they only stopped their skateboarding action twice. Firstly, They paused to take a sip of an energy drink. Surprisingly, at a same time, some of them were also smoking weed.  Secondly, They stopped when park rangers show up in the Freedom Plaza to chase them away. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Until then, I did not know that skateboarding was not permitted at the Freedom Plaza.</span></p></p>http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/49344103932http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/49344103932Wed, 01 May 2013 02:51:07 -0400skatingskating stuntsWashingtonDCDCCapitalActionSkateboarderStuntsFreedomPlazaPLazaBlack and WhiteLeicaleica monochromStreet Photography<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/16ebfd1b37b2b0498ff3131ad9d296b0/tumblr_mlvltlAz7A1qdi57so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Street of DC: Isolated</span></p>http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48943630605http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48943630605Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:53:00 -0400DcIsolatedHomelessHomelessnessLeica<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/41b90751bb738ef280f8350f7b99b8a1/tumblr_mlsslgh8fq1qdi57so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Street of DC</p>http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48838776488http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48838776488Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:27:00 -0400DcWashingtonDcStreet PhotographyBusstopDCWhitehouseLeica<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6629f5a0bced64340740e8bdd082a93d/tumblr_mlos4appWy1qdi57so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Happy Face: A walk with father</span></p>http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48663708860http://roshanism.tumblr.com/post/48663708860Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:26:00 -0400Leica<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/538b48aeb618ccedc93c5b53d1b23dbe/tumblr_mlkdjmkqMN1qdi57so1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5875cd269ed0a375baa911912e56650f/tumblr_mlkdjmkqMN1qdi57so2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper"><span class="messageBody"><strong>Street life of DC</strong><br/>This old gentleman was so proud of his cool black and white leather shoes that he asked me to photograph it.
