Display near Lafayette Square

I couldn't resist this scene when I discovered it. A very basic display going unseen by many. This image (and many others) was made just around noon time near Lafayette Square in Washington, DC. As I made image after image, I drew some stares from people walking by on their lunch breaks, on their way to meetings, talking on their cell phones, hailing a cab, etc. They would look at me and then at what I was photographing and you could tell most were like, "what's he taking a picture of the wall for?"

This is an example of simplifying a larger scene into a single, isolated frame that, to me at least, is worth more than the total of the larger scene.
