On Friday, November 4, join us for a brand new exhibit at the Crystal City Fotowalk! We’ve invited 12 photographers to share a series of their work, to get a better glimpse into the vision and style of some of our favorite local artists. Join us for an Exposed DC opening reception with an open bar and snacks in the Synetic Theater Lobby. Featured photographers: Richard Barnhill, Shamila Chadhaury, Tina dela Rosa, James Jackson, Kaitlin Jencso, Rachel Mooney, Kyle Myles, Angela Napili, Diriki Rice, Caroline Space (yes, our In Frame curator gets to show off her images this time!), Chris Williams, and David Wissman.
- The Punk and Go-Go photo exhibit at the MLK branch of the D.C. Library opened on October 15 and features collected works from the community. See it until November 30.

- The New York Times profiles William Eggleston and declares him to be “every bit as brilliant, confounding and heartbreakingly soulful as the pictures he makes.”
- Follow Air & Space Magazine on Instagram — @airspacemag — to see work by lots of great local photographers like Dave Wissman (next week) and (upcoming) Cameron Davidson, Bill Putnam, and Joseph Gruber. These Instagram takeovers are run by Exposed’s Heather Goss, so if you have some great aviation or astronomy photographs to share, or you’d like to recommend someone who does, drop her a line.
- The 2017 Vladimir Putin calendar has been sneak-previewed by the BBC’s Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg, which has of course prompted the interwebs to come up with their own creations, including a bare-chested Putin riding a giant kitten, and a rather NSFW Putin-Trump coupling.
- The Natural History Museum in the UK announced their 2016 Wildlife Photographer of the Year winners and they are worth all your time.
