I like the symbolism in this picture. Flickr photographer mosley.brian snapped a shot of the under-construction Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, making a pile of stone and scaffolding look poignant. The statue looks out from behind bars into the hope that is the sun. (EXIF.)

It’s images that display a side of Washington that you might not have noticed before, or ones that put this city, its history and people in a different light that we’re after for DCist Exposed. And it’s these kinds of photos you’ll be able to find in the five year magazine retrospective, but only if we can raise the funds to publish it. You know what to do.
