In Frame: January 23, 2017 – Special Inauguration and Women’s March Edition

January 23, 2017 By Caroline Space

Hello photo people! This weekend was quintessentially D.C. Whether you went to the inauguration, or were one of the estimated 500,000 people to march the streets, I was proud to see so many photographers actively making images. Instead of one image, I thought today I would share some of my favorite frames fueled by this weekend’s political energy.

Today I created a portrait project on young women protesting the Inauguration. This is Maria Vollmar, a 20 year-old from Berkeley, California to march in the Women's March on Washington. "I'm not here to protest. I'm here to show the people we will stand up for them." #youngwomenmarch

In Frame: Best of 2016

January 4, 2017 By Caroline Space

HAPPY 2017, friends!

It’s been a wonderful year in image making. I’ve seen hundreds of extraordinary images on our Flickr page and our #exposeddc Instagram tag. Photography is my life and I’m so grateful to share it with all of you.

It was such a difficult task to select my 10 favorite In Frames of from 2016, but ultimately these images are the ones with which I really felt a special connection. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all enter into the 11th annual ExposedDC photography contest–enter your best work showcasing life in the metro area before January 11. And keep making pictures–I cannot wait to see what you create this year!

All my best,

Caroline

This is clearly not D.C., but it’s taken by, Bo Tan, a Chinese photographer currently based in the district. As a person and a photographer, I have particular interests: the colors green, blue, and orange, mountains, gas stations, and mid-afternoon sunlight that softens hues a little while still creating odd shadows. Bo’s image has all of that in a wonderfully framed scene.

I love that Exposed DC has the ability to illuminate places that local photographers travel and document. I’m excited to see my peers’ adventures on my screen, vicariously living through your pictures. Keep making clever frames my D.C. metro friends!

(And don’t forget to enter your photographs — of D.C. by D.C. photographers — in our annual contest before January 11.)

Greetings!

Greetings, Bo Tan! This image has a lot going on in the frame, but it works. The different shades of green combined with the shadows and spots of dappled lighting create dynamic textures and depth. By the way, oddities in pictures are always delights for me–are those bridal figurines?

Don’t forget this Friday is the opening reception of our new exhibit at the Crystal City Fotowalk. We hope to see you there!
