Adoration of the Drag – 2008
There’s an annual event in DC that falls on the tuesday before Halloween. It’s called the 17th Street High Heel Race and it has grown from it’s small bar-crawl style dash into a spectator drenched affair along 17th Street to watch drag queens that have spent the better part of the year building up their elaborate outfits all for one night.
I’ve never failed to miss one since 2002, and even though I’d moved to San Francisco, by luck would have it. I was hired to do a wedding in DC in late October, and catching that year’s event was a mere matter of extending my return date a few days…
I’ve posted the gallery in its entirety here. But I thought I’d share some of my favorites here.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Fantastic blog!
