SIT-uation:  Dupont Circle. Morning after the BIG snow. But no worries. Nothing’s keeping this guy from Sunday’s ritual: looking good in the park.

Sitting at the Top of the Bay

Just a little something special Patten wanted to share with you all… Taken from Buena Vista Park in San Francisco.

Yeah, I suppose this is a good way to pick up your dry cleaning….

Enough Already!

Forget sitting this week. It’s time for a nap! I’m in total agreement, kiddo…

SIT-uation: This kid is pooped out after too much parade watching. I’m right there with him. July 4, 2009.

Unreserved Seating

Bet you can’t guess when this photo was taken….

SIT-uation: July 4, 2009. It’s nothing like the inauguration crowds, but at least there’s a lot of quality lounging.

Sitting Scholar

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to swap the “f” for a “t” and post a photo of someone sitting in the city. Today’s photo was born on an iPhone. Yeah—I’m impressed too! Got a City Sitting shot for me? Please send to emily@citysifting.com.

Title: Sitting Scholar
Photographer: Christina Stockamore
SIT-uation: Coming home from work, I jumped off the bus at my regular stop along Mass Ave and was about to start heading up 24th street, when I was struck by the way the late afternoon light reflected off the statue of the sitting scholar. I usually only take a quick glimpse of the statue in front of the Croatian Embassy, but for some reason, I paused to analyze the statue in greater detail and began to take a few shots from different angles. Turns out, the sitting scholar is St. Jerome the Priest and one of his greatest contributions is translating the Bible from Hebrew to Latin.

Sitting for Justice

SIT-uation: We were walking home from Sakana last Thursday night and saw this candlelight vigil for Iran. The Dupont fountain was covered with people, many of whom were dressed in black. Demonstrators were passing out plastic cups with candles inside. Tea lights and newspapers (their fronts pages covered with violent photos from the Iranian protests) encircled the fountain. There was a somber air about; we stood quitely on the periphery and watched.

Sitting for a Cause

A day late (but worth the wait), here’s our City Sitter of the week. Note: This was taken in those good ‘ole pre-Obama days, when we had lots of fun things to be angry about. Best we can do today is cry about a fly. How dare he?!?

SIT-uation: Emily’s List T-Shirt, Indian blanket, and DC cap provide not-so-subtle clues about Sharon’s politics and interests. Despite the picnic atmosphere, we sit around preparing to march in response to the Bush regime’s foreign policies.

Sitting Tall

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to swap the “f” for a “t” and post a photo of someone sitting in the city. Like I explained last week, inanimate objects are game too, thus the photo of old Abe below. See how easy this is! Got a City Sitting shot? Please send by Tuesday, so I can post the next day.

SIT-uation: I was at the Lincoln Memorial recently with a friend and thought, now that’s the city sitter.

Sitting Pretty

Welcome to City Sitting, the once-weekly feature that evolved from a misunderstanding: “Your blog’s called City Sitting?” she asks. Ta-da. The light bulb appears above my head. And so City Sitting begins, thanks to someone’s bad ears (or my poor annunciation). Each Wednesday, we’ll swap the “f” for a “t” and post a photo of someone sitting in the city. Typical bench/park shots are fine, but the more creative the pose, the better. Sitting animals and inanimate objects are game too. Got a City Sitting shot? Please send by Tuesday, so I can post the next day. Jay-pee-dubb starts us off with a shot he caught Sunday in Dupont:

SIT-uation: I was walking down Q street with my new camera (woot woot!) and saw these two across the way. I asked the girl if I could take her photo. Simple as that.
