This shot was taken in March 2005. Mattie was hamming it up with Vicki and wearing his Easter themed sunglasses because.... well, just because. That was Mattie. As you can see he loved his mommy and was having a good time playing. I can also tell we were in the midst of painting our home, as can be seen by the furniture pulled away from the walls and the blue painters tape on the left side of the photo.
Hello from Peter....
It was a typical Monday filled with work and chores and mundane tasks that a Monday typically supplies. At the end of the day (between the myriad of dog walks I took today), I popped out to the grocery store to pick up a few things, and what did I see? But a movie shoot in progress, right on Virginia Ave.
Vicki and I have seen them shooting in and around Foggy Bottom now for a number of months. In many cases, we see a street scene, and we know the setting is in the 1980s since all you see are 1980s model cars driving around on the streets, to be included in the shots as background and atmosphere. I am sure many of us watch movies that are set in earlier eras, and we probably rarely notice the period cars that appear in the background shots.
Well tonight was another example of this happening. If you look closely at the shots, you can see all the cars are not from this era, but rather from several decades ago. So Foggy Bottom continues to an attraction for movies especially with iconic and identifiable buildings like the Watergate, the Kennedy Center, the State Department and with the backdrop of the Potomac River and the Washington Monument that can be seen down Virginia Avenue.
