FotoWeek is Here!

Last night was the official opening at FotoWeekDC's hub in Georgetown. To mark the occasion, FotoWeek is having a "Night Gallery" show all around the city.

FotoWeek DC and area museums will team up to create an unprecedented, world premiere digital video slide show. During FotoWeek DC's inaugural week-long photography festival, visitors will be treated to a dazzling display of large scale projections of photographs selected from the collections of some of Washington DC's most honored institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Newseum.

It was definitely a cool thing to see, and having our work included was pretty sweet. Photos courtesy of Marie Kwak and used with permission.

Today marks the 90th anniversary of Armistice Day-- a celebration of the end of the Great War and a day of remembrance for the 20 million lost in World War One.

In the US, we celebrate Veteran's Day and honor all veterans who have fought to protect our country and others.

Please keep our troops, past and present, in your thoughts today.

Official.

The finalists in the juried competition for FotoweekDC have been announced. I'm in the running with friends Max, John, and Shawn in the Portrait category. I think it's funny that we all know each other!

Winners won't be announced until the Fotoweek Gala at the NGS on the 22nd. I'll have to miss it, since I'll be in Germany (GERMANY!) visiting friends.

Our pieces will be on display November 15-22 at FotoWeek's central hub at 3338 M Street, NW in Georgetown. I encourage everyone to visit any of the Fotoweek exhibits and shows-- there's so much to see.
