- Jake McGuire, a local still photographer who has taken some classic shots of Washington landmarks, was featured in a lengthy Washington Post story in August titled “Man About Town.” The story notes that “The way to stand out from the crowd, to succeed in WASHINGTON is to behave like Jake McGuire. He is a master mass-marketer. He has multiple varieties of business cards, depending on whom he’s talking to and what he thinks they might want. One of them is in French. He does not really speak French. But he likes the whimsy.”

If all goes well, they will keep her on as a regular weekly blogger.
