While some of us were intently watching television for Super Tuesday returns, other folks were out having some actual fun during Fat Tuesday celebrations. We had a hard time deciding if this portrait by afagen of a supposedly serious motorcycle cop covered in beads was better than the Arlington firefighter doing his civic duty getting boobies shown, but this photo by a different photographer of the same cop munching on his cigar while he patrolled the crowds also gets high marks for photogenic-ness. EXIF.

Just a little reminder that the opening reception for DCist Exposed is a short month away now, so be sure you’re keeping Friday, March 7 clear to join us. Remember that every photo will be for sale, so feel free to take a gander through our winner’s pool and take notes on which ones you just have to have to hang on your living room wall.
