About the Book
JL Scales is a Washington, DC–based photographer and visual storyteller who created Welcome 2 DC to reveal the city beyond its iconic monuments. Originally from Harlem, NYC, JL has spent over two decades observing the transformation of DC’s neighborhoods, culture, and everyday life. Through his lens, he documents the authenticity of the city’s people, streets, and evolution — preserving the memories that often go unseen by tourists and mainstream media. His work serves as a visual time capsule, inviting viewers now, and years from now, to reflect on what DC was and what it continues to become.
