In case you missed it: earlier this week we announced that the Exposed DC Photography Collection has found a permanent home at the DC Public Library. You can read the press release here. Stay tuned for more updates as we work to gather hundreds of photos that document the last 18 years of life in D.C. as seen by the people who live, work, and love here! If you were featured in our annual photography show and have not received an email from us, we have been trying to get in touch. Drop us a line to make sure we have a current email address on file so you have the chance to be included in the collection!
