They say context is
everything, and nowhere is it
more true than close-up (macro) photography. If photography's basic
reason for being (de etre) is to show the unseen and overlooked, then
nowhere is there more photographic opportunity then getting down and
dirty with a macro lens and documenting the flotsam and jetsam of the
human experience. Ernst Haas did it with soda cans crushed on the
street and peeling paint. Other photographers close in to shoot flowers
and gems, nails and bullets, or raindrops and snowflakes. And of course
there is the whole macabre world of bugs and bacteria. Whatever you
shoot, whether the cornea of your lover's eye or the time worn face of
Thomas Jefferson on a quarter, or the tiny gears inside your
grandfathers watch, send it in to 1650 and let it ride, because this
month we get all up into photography's grill with UP CLOSE &
PERSONAL: Macro & Close Up Photography!
Approximately fifty
works will be chosen from submitted photographs to be included in the
UP CLOSE & PERSONAL 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.
