| This is a picture of the American Institute of Pharmacy on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. This photograph captured in October, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler during the fall in Washington, DC at the American Institute of Pharmacy on Constitution Avenue. It is cataloged under the terms cities and architecture in this photography database. The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 28mm f/3.5 lens stopped to f/16 and exposed at a speed of 1/125th of a second. Photographer Comments: I remember setting up my tripod to take this shot, not necessarily because I was vested in architect John Russell Pope's "temple to pharmacy", but due instead to the brilliance of the day and the composition of the scene including the deep blue northern sky, the distinguished white marble of the architecture contrasted against the saturated green of the flora, and Old Glory flying proudly above the building. To this day I wish I had packed an extra camera body loaded with Velvia or Kodachrome film so I could have captured the trifecta of color in its true majesty. There is a good little article on the legacy of the Pharmacy building posted here. |

Additionally, Jim thought of search words that someone might use to locate this picture including the terms Constitution Avenue, American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington D.C., marble, buildings, lawn, grass, American Institute of Pharmacy and John Russell Pope, so he included these on this page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this free photograph! |
