for the love of DC photography
Despite the admittedly short notice, you did a bang-up job in our first Photo Challenge, to sum up what America means to you in a single image. Our staff debated last night and picked our favorites, posted below. You can check out all the submissions right here.
Do you think we left out a top notch image? Maybe you have an idea for a future challenge to exercise your skills? Let us know in the comments.
Alright Exposed DC Photographers. We’d like to issue a challenge and have you exercise a little creative muscle. Given the upcoming holiday we thought we’d ask you to show us what America means to you. In a single photo.
After an impossible-to-judge contest last December, our 42 winning images in the DCist Exposed Photography Show were framed and hung at Long View Gallery for more than 1,200 guests to gawk at over two packed nights of receptions this week.
Just reminder that the show will be at Long View Gallery through April 7, free during their regular hours, Wednesday though Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m. (The gallery occasionally closes for events, and is closed this Sunday for Easter.) If you are interested in purchasing a photo, inquire while you’re at the gallery or fill out our contact form. You can still buy a 2013 exhibition program at MagCloud for $10, as well as our 2012 program and 5th year anniversary edition (or save on shipping and buy them at the gallery this Saturday only).
WAMU radio’s Art Beat segment featured us as their lead event this morning! If you didn’t catch it, you can listen to (and read) it right here.
We hope you locked down your tickets early, because both of the opening receptions for the 7th annual DCist Exposed Photography Show are sold out! To the 1,000 of you that snagged them, we’ll see you this Tuesday and Wednesday between 6 and 10 p.m. at Long View Gallery, 1234 9th Street NW. The gallery is an easy two block walk from the Mt. Vernon Square / Convention Center metro.
There will be tickets available at the door for $15, but advance ticket holders have priority, and there can only be 500 people in the gallery at a time (don’t worry guys, it’s a biiiig gallery). If you can’t attend the receptions, the exhibition is open for free during Long View’s normal business hours (note: the gallery is occasionally closed for events, and Easter Sunday), through April 7.
