Photography Shows in Washington, DC

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

My new quest to participate in at least one art show has forced me to do some research on upcoming photography/art exhibits in the DC area. Since I couldn’t find a complete list anywhere, I decided to put what I’ve found here. I’ll continue to update it. Some I’ll attend, some I’ll try to participate in and the others just seem really cool.

Artomatic: The 10th anniversary of Artomatic will be held May 29-July 5. Registration begins in March and will be open to all artists — including painters, photographers, sculptors, graphic designers, musicians, poets, actors and dancers. Artomatic is an unjuried event, so all artists are welcome, from professionals to beginners.

DCist Exposed: The third annual DCist Exposed Photography Show will be held at The Gallery at Flashpoint on February 20, 2009. The show closes on March 7, 2009.

Soul Rebel: I’ve avoided putting closed events on this list, BUT this is Bob Marley and it’s an exhibit I’ll definitely go see before it closes. The photographs are by David Burnett. The exhibit runs until March 28, 2009 at the Govinda Gallery.

WPA 28th Annual Art Gallery Auction: This noted event has grown in recognition and reputation as Washington’s premiere contemporary art event for not only art collectors but also business, social, and art leaders in the community.

While you were sleeping

I’m not a morning person AT ALL. I hate mornings. Despise. But…I love shooting in the morning? Yes, that’s true.

I know, I know. It doesn’t really make too much sense. But, the way the light looks in the morning is just beautiful. In a city like DC, it’s just nice to look around when there aren’t many people awake. It’s nice to hear the birds chirping, be able to find a parking space and look at the monuments without a crowd.

So, these are the reasons why I ended up downtown by the Lincoln and Washington monuments at 6:45 am. My good friend Dale had just finished interviewing me for Scheme Magazine (more on this later), and I was inspired to shoot.

Here are some things I captured. You can see the rest here.
