The painting that I am writing about for this weeks commonplace is a very famous painting from one of my all time favorite painters. This is titled “nighthawks” by Edward Hopper. The first thing to notice when looking at this painting is the diner. The thing that hopper was famous for was the way he […]

Commonplace; Another Love
“I brought you daffodils, in a pretty string, but they won’t flower like they did last spring.” Tom Odell, my favorite male artist, talks about the struggle of being with someone new without having moved on from a past relationship in his song “Another Love.” I find this specific sentence especially interesting because the word […]
DigiDoc; NPS + RCP
I decided to make a collage which demonstrates one of the most important aspects about Rock Creek Park. As you can see, all of the signs (except for the one on the bottom right corner) are accompanied by a smaller acorn-shaped sign only identifiable as that of the National Park Service. National reserves and historical […]
DigiDoc; The Rocks
The Rocks located in Rock Creek Park is identifiable as “one of Washington’s most luxurious residences” (Carter). At 16 acres, it is understandably a magnificent home hidden in the wondrous nature of Rock Creek. The mansion belonging to Jay Rockefeller, an ex-senator, has two mailing addresses! It was built in the 1920’s and still lives […]
DigiDoc; Joaquin Miller Cabin
Joaquin Miller was a log cabin enthusiast and lived in the confines of his Rock Creek cabin for most of his life. The man called it his “lowly old log cabin home.” We can clearly see why. This picture shows the restored and conserved Joaquin Miller Cabin of now. An older image from the back […]
DigiDoc; Klingle Mansion
Rock Creek holds in its humongous land many an estate. One of the very prominent homes is called the Pierce-Klingle Mansion, located on Williamsburg Lane. The horticulturist, Joshua Pierce, built it in 1823 and passed it onto his nephew, Joshua Pierce Klingle. It may look like your usual Washingtonian home, but the mansion garners […]
DigiDoc; Levy’s (R.I.P) Relationship with RCP
At 5:01, the ABC News video goes into detail about the discovery of Chandra Levy, D.C. intern who was missing for years, being found dead in Rock Creek Park. The remains of her body, specifically her hands knotted, are shown in ABC’s visual report, something no other news outlet had gotten a hold of. In […]
Commonplace 12
The image that I am writing about for this weeks commonplace is a painting by René Magritte. This painting is titled “The Son of Man”. There are many speculations regarding this painting including the man’s relationship to water and any religious affiliations. However, I believe that this painting shares similar ideologies to the painting I […]
