Richard Avedon exhibit, JAWS

Sunday Diana and I saw Richard Avedon's exhibit Portraits of Power at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. It was the last day of the exhibit that opened in September. Unfortunately we arrived at 4:30 p.m. and the exhibit closed at 5, but because we arrived so late we weren't charged admission. We both really enjoyed the exhibit, though we had to rush through.

And coincidentally, Bridgette emailed this link to me because she thought I might like it.

Last night I went with a few of the other interns to the National Press Club to meet some of the D.C. area members of Journalism & Women Symposium, or JAWS. The group met at a bar called The Reliable Source to discuss inauguration experiences. I met some very impressive women including the ombuds(wo)man for NPR, Alicia Shephard, the Washington editor of Glamour Magazine, Linda Kramer Jenning, award-winning investigative reporter Roberta Baskin, and a staff write for The Washington Post, Pat Suillivan.
