About Georgetown, Washington DC
Georgetown is a historic neighborhood, commercial, and entertainment district located in northwest Washington, D.C., situated along the Potomac River. Founded in 1751 in the state of Maryland, the port of Georgetown predated the establishment of the federal district and the City of Washington by 40 years. Georgetown remained a separate municipality until 1871, when the United States Congress created a new consolidated government for the whole District of Columbia. A separate act passed in 1895 specifically repealed Georgetown's remaining local ordinances and renamed Georgetown's streets to conform with those in the City of Washington.
The primary commercial corridors of Georgetown are the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue & M Street, which contain high-end shops, bars, restaurants, and the Georgetown Park enclosed shopping mall, as well as the Washington Harbour waterfront restaurants at K Street, NW, between 30th and 31st Streets. Georgetown is home to the main campus of Georgetown University and numerous other landmarks, such as the Volta Bureau and the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in Washington. The embassies of France, Mongolia, Sweden, Thailand, and Ukraine are located in Georgetown.

I recently had the opportunity to serve as the photographer for the Etihad Airways Triathlon event at Georgetown Cupcake. Not only did I have fun interacting with the customers, staff, and flight attendants, but I had the opportunity to witness the behind-the-scenes to the gourmet cupcake making process. And yes, I was full from cupcakes at the end of this shoot!

The 1897 car barn of the Capitol Traction Company at 3600 M Street NW once housed streetcar tracks, service bays, passenger platforms, and offices. Now that the trolleys are gone, it is leased by Georgetown University. Immediately to the west is the famous staircase from The Exorcist.
