I snapped this picture Sunday night while writing about a York County musical group performing at the Lincoln 2.0 Inaugural Ball at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
This woman was one of the many revelers who walked through the D.C. museum's galleries all evening, snapping pictures and dancing in front of the visages of former presidents in the National Portrait Gallery's Presidential Portrait Gallery.
I thought it was an appropriate snapshot to post here on this most historic of days.
Speaking of the Presidential Portrait Gallery... I couldn't help but wonder why some presidents such as Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton got full-size vertical portraits while others, such as the two Bushes, got smaller portraits. Do the sizes of the presidential portraits say something about their presidencies? Anyone know the answer?
