OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION:
SATURDAY, November 17, 2012

For almost two centuries now, fearless photographers have carried their
cameras out of their homes and into the great unknown that resides
beyond their front door, in an effort to quantify, clarify, and perhaps
even objectify the world around them. Like the writer, the photographer
must "shoot what she knows." And the goal is the same for all; to make
sense of chaos, to capture for the future the transitory nature of
today, and to illustrate the present in a manner that is both text and
subtext for the larger story at hand. The goal of the documentary
photographer can ultimately serve just one purpose; to tell the big
picture, and in so doing, combat the big lie.
What does all this mean? Simply that the best photographers must strive
to see the profound in the most commonplace everyday occurrences. And
the vision of that artist's eye, the ability to see the great unseen
and picture the profound from the pedestrian, is the magic that
continues to propel photography as a great art form yesterday, today
and in the future.
This month 1650 welcomes your take on
documentary and street
photography. Show us the world around you and make us love you for
showing it. Good
luck!
Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photographs to
be included in the GET REAL exhibition at 1650 Gallery in the Echo Park
neighborhood of Los Angeles. Additional works may also be selected for
an online gallery exhibition page.
There is an entry fee of
$25 for up to 5
images. Additional entries may be submitted for $5 each.
