Gallery - Abstracts Photography Exhibition
Photography at first blush has often been thought
of as a literal or pictorial art, and the withering truth of the camera
lens has often held the power to open hearts and change minds. But
beyond realism and narrative, documentary and expose lies another
universe of possibilities… a universe where the formal rules of focus,
composition and exposure don't necessarily apply anymore.
It is a world of "anything goes", where the elements of light, shadow,
texture, color and line combine to form images of emotional power or
visual beauty, stark contrasts or subtle shades of tonality -- the
world of ABSTRACTS. It is a world without boundaries, real or imagined…
as unlimited as the photographer's imagination.
This month, let your imagination run wild as 1650 Gallery explores the
world of Abstract Photography! Open to all photographic methods and
techniques, digital or analog, subject matter is unlimited; real or
imagined -- recognizable or not! There are no rules, so just have fun,
make some good photos and show 'em to us!
SHOOT NOW AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER, THIS MONTH ONLY, AS 1650 TURNS OUR
MIND'S EYE TOWARD ABSTRACTS! Ernst Haas had done some exquisite color
work in this genre. Here's some examples to get you going!

AWARDS:
Best In Show, 2nd Place
and 3rd Place will be awarded and posted online
after the show opening. Award winning photos will be featured on the
show page and Best In Show winners will have a
small portfolio of their work (up to 10 images) featured in our 1650
Spotlight gallery of photographic excellence.
All Awards winners will also be featured in our 1650 Gallery
newsletter, which is broadcast via email to our mailing list. Getting
the word out about artists we're excited about helps you do more great
work, helps us show more great work, and helps keep the often insular
world of fine art photography more diverse and vibrant.
