Washington D.C. is a city that sees many residents come and go, and that includes photographers. After living and working in D.C. as a photojournalist for six years, photographer Nick Gingold moved to California and started working with California craft beer brewers. His California BrewMasters project is a series of portraits and interviews with many of the craft brewers in the Golden State, and Gingold is trying to raise $25,000 through Kickstarter to produce a book.

While Gingold may no longer call D.C. home, he still travels here several times a year for work. Anyone who can produce such hilarious portraits of our annual High Heel race participants, will always be part of the D.C. photo community.

Exposed: What interested you in Craft Brewers, and how did this idea get started?

Gingold: This all started about two years ago. I had just moved back to my hometown in Southern California from Washington D.C., and as a photographer I was trying to find a new project to sink my teeth into. My brother-in-law was getting really into craft beer and began introducing me to all of these amazing flavors. He now works at a brewery called Left Coast in San Clemente, CA. I started to explore it more and realized there was this rapid acceleration within the craft beer industry, they were seeing double digit yearly growth during a down economy. With that, a really interesting sub-culture of beer-enthusiasts was being formed. Today, there are over 300 breweries in California, next year we’ll see 40-60 new ones come out of the San Diego area alone. It just seemed like something really great was happening and there was an opportunity for that to be explored.

We hope folks had a blast last night at our contest launch party! It was wonderful to see so many photographer faces that we hadn’t seen in a while, and so many Exposed supporters. Bluejacket was a fantastic host – we hope you enjoyed their gorgeous renovated Navy Yard warehouse and got to try lots of their unique brews (I think the Stowaway is my favorite so far). You can look forward to more of those behind the bar at our exhibit opening reception on March 19, 2014.

As we start our 8th year, expect even more from the bigger, badder Exposed DC. Last night kicked off what will be regular monthly happy hours so that photographers can meet and mingle off-line and explore new venues in the city. Save the date for our next one on Wednesday, January 15 – the day we announce our 2014 contest winners. And we have more surprises in store for this year’s show that we’ll be announcing soon, so stay tuned!
