Maroon on Georgetown

From dust jacket notes: "Few professional photographers live with their subjects for over 35 years. Yet highly respected photographer Fred J. Maroon has done just that. Maroon on Georgetown offers an art-quality collection of photographs of the town Maroon calls home, the small historic community adjacent to the domes and monoliths of our nation's capital. Few express the vitality of Georgetown as well as this man, who searched the streets of Georgetown at dawn and at dusk, in all seasons, photographing buildings, neighbors, and nightlife, enjoying rare access to the interiors of celebrity homes, and bringing to the task an exceptional eye for architectural elements. Maroon developed an intimacy with his subject over the years that few photographers ever achieve....Maroon on Georgetown features the campus of Georgetown University, the museums and gardens of Dumbarton Oaks, and the diverse shops and restaurants that form the profusion of style and culture known as Georgetown. Maroon's architectural experience enables him to capture its mood and character, from the Federal, Queen Anne, and Victorian dwellings to the interior design and decoration behind the facades....Maroon on Georgetown was first published in 1985 and won gold medals for photography and for design in the annual competition of the Art Directors' Club of Metropolitan Washington that year. This edition has been expanded and updated to include additional landmarks and developments...."
