Exposed DC is excited to announce its 10th annual Exposed DC Photography Show hosted by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. from March 10 to April 1, 2016, on the second floor of the Carnegie Library.

These 47 winning photographs were chosen from a contest for their unique view of the Washington area – not as a political venue or tourist destination, but as a place where we live and work and love every day. Five of those photographs will be awarded our Best in Show prizes, each one chosen by a panel of distinguished metro-area photographers: Lucian Perkins, Susana Raab, Lauren Stockbower, Yodith Dammlash, and Carolyn Russo.

To celebrate a decade of amazing local photography, the Exposed DC opening reception will be held throughout the Carnegie Library; cocktail attire suggested. We’re showing our commitment to fostering photography for all skill levels and pursuits by partnering with local photography groups to provide entertainment and engaging activities throughout the Library. We’re delighted to be joined by Critical Exposure, Capital Photography Center, Leica Store DC, The Exposure Group African American Photographers Association, IGDC, HOIST Studio and the American Photographic Artists DC Chapter (APA|DC) to help us celebrate the big occasion.

D.C.’s own Bluejacket Brewery will provide their original brews at an open bar; complimentary wine and snacks will also be available. DJ Neville C. will provide dance tunes in the Carnegie Library’s fantastic D.C. Map Room.

A full color 10th Anniversary Exhibition Magazine with the last 5 years of winning photos be available at the opening, and online soon. The companion 5th Anniversary Magazine from 2006-2011 will also be available. Designed by Johanna Ostrich.

The 2016 Exposed DC Winning Photographs!

January 13, 2016 By exposeddc

2016 Exposed DC Photo Contest

Has it really been a decade? And they said it wouldn’t last! Ok, maybe no one actually said that. Regardless, this year we celebrate the 10th annual Exposed DC Photography Show at the historic Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square, home of our gracious hosts, the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.

Remember this? (Remember when we only knew you by your Flickr names?) When we started this photo contest and exhibit over at DCist in 2006, we had no idea we’d be doing it 10 years later, but seeing the way the already vibrant photography community has continued to grow over the years has been our biggest pleasure. We look forward to celebrating our anniversary in March with folks who’ve been around with us since the beginning and all the new faces that have joined us in the meantime.

Mark your calendars now for Thursday, March 10, when we’ll host the grand opening reception of this special 10th anniversary exhibit. Meanwhile tonight, January 13, join us upstairs at Jack Rose in Adams Morgan from 6 to 8 p.m. for our monthly happy hour to hang out with fellow photographers and fans, and on this occasion, to toast to the 47 winning photographs of the 2016 contest. Cheers!!

A very nice photograph that allows movement in anonymous subjects to relay feeling.

2015 Best in Show Winner: Denzil Spicer

Denzil Spicer - Utz: Adams Morgan Bus Stop
Utz: Adams Morgan Bus Stop by Denzil Spicer

Today we present the third of our five Best In Show prize winners from the 9th annual Exposed DC Photography Show. We invited each member of a panel of distinguished D.C. metro-area editors and photojournalists to choose their favorite photograph from the 42 in this year’s exhibit. The five winning photographers will each receive a $100 cash prize from Exposed DC.

We’ll be announcing the winners each day through Tuesday. Tickets are still available for the opening reception this Thursday, March 12!

Today’s Best in Show winner is the intriguing “UTZ: Adams Morgan Bus Stop” by Denzil Spicer. His photo was chosen by judge Cynthia Connolly, a photographer, curator, typographer and the Visual Arts Curator of Artisphere in Arlington, Virginia:

This was selected specifically because it exposes aspects of D.C. that are key in expressing the characteristics of our city. There’s solitude and loneliness with the young woman at the bus stop whose face is obstructed by the D.C. flag imagery. The many logos, images and cleanliness seen in this photograph are at-the-moment contemporary. For many who have lived here a long time, this was not always the way it was. A depiction of this bus stop perhaps 30 years ago would show a shelter with the weather worn plexiglas, and the background would be abandoned buildings of grey and black. Here we see color, the movement of business and people.
