Frank Smith - Ledroit Park, Oral History #2
Monday, January 10, 2011 at 6:25PM I've started working on an oral history project with a neighbor, Robert Sullivan, in the DC neighborhood of LeDroit Park. Although LeDroit is only just a handful of blocks (located north of the intersection of Rhode Island Avenue and Florida Avenue) it has a very long and rich history dating back to the late 1800's. The aim of this project is to document some of this history by making audio recordings (Robert) and photographing (my part) interviews with long time residents and then to develop a web site where excerpts of these interviews can be heard and where these photographs can be show. Until then ...
Frank Smith was the second of these interviews. Mr. Smith is a long time civil rights activists, a former city councilman, and is the founding director of the African American Civil War Museum. The interview lasted about 2 hours which allowed lots of time for me to photograph but also to listen - both equally enjoyable.
I photographed with 1 to 2 off camera flashes and small umbrella mods and also with available light. The later I converted to B+W, because the available light was a mix of fluorescent and regular incandescent bulbs that created a strange cast. More photos here.

I have been taking splenda for several months. Just lately I realized that the moles on arms and especially legs had increased.By a sudden impulse while visiting my doctor for something else I showed the increased moles to him on one leg. He pointed out that two of the moles did not look good, he sent one small part of one of them to the lab and it came back as pre- cancerous. Both moles have been removed since. No more splenda for me. cyxbyf cyxbyf - UK Belstaff Jackets.
