We’re loving the entries that so many of you submitted to this year’s contest! Check back with us on March 13 when we announce the winners that will be showcased in our 12th annual Exposed DC Photography Show, and join us for happy hour that evening at Meridian Pint.

  • Update: Reception postponed to March 8 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. See an exhibit of Everitt Clark’s large format photography in “Treasures of the Heart,” a study of the prized possessions of people with hoarding tendencies, at the Arts Club of Washington through March 30.
  • The National Gallery of Art is opening “Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings” this Sunday, with her photographs that “explore the overarching themes of existence: memory, desire, death, the bonds of family, and nature’s magisterial indifference to human endeavor.”
  • In “My Camera, My Voice” at Glen Echo Photoworks, Michael A. McCoy photographs the daily struggles and joys after soldiers return home from combat. Reception and gallery talk Sunday, 6 to 8 p.m.
  • Get to Glen Echo earlier on Sunday for a panel on “Building a Successful Photography Career” with Sora DeVore and Rebecca Dobris. Arcade Room 202/203, 4 p.m., $15
  • An amateur Argentinian astronomer accidentally photographed the moment a supernova exploded.
  • Fund your next photojournalism story by applying before March 9 for the Howard G. Buffett Fund for Women Journalists. Awards are given out twice a year.
  • Next Thursday, attend a discussion on using photography for “investigation and storytelling relating to the politics of land, landscape and environment.” 6:30 p.m., free.
  • The “violence of flash photography” is a fascinating assertion in Aeon this week.
  • American sociologist Lewis Hine’s photographs both documented and impacted the conditions of ordinary working people and migrants at the beginning of the 20th Century.
  • Sometimes photography is a team effort. Leah Millis writes about how she got the photo of Hope Hicks that went viral this week.
  • If beaches aren’t beautiful enough for you, how about ones aglow with bioluminescent creatures?
  • Justyna Badach spent a year inventing a new developing process to incorporate gunpowder into images.
  • Oh look, a yellow cardinal! (Thanks to a “one in a million” genetic mutation, not Photoshop.)
