has WINGS

I get stuck on foods.  I occasionally become obsessed, usually with a snack food, and eat it over and over and over until I get sick of it.  Lately, I have been seriously stuck on Synder’s Hot Buffalo Wing pretzel pieces.  Yes, I’m afraid so…your gourmet food loving blogger has a weakness for junk food, to the extreme sometimes.  Maybe when you’re out shooting late night photographs for this next Call for Entries you could pick up an extra bag OR THREE for me.  Because you have to have a back up plan…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for The Dark Side: Night Photography.  The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing.  Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Dark Side: Night Photography

 

Learn more about the 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles!

The jazzy neon glow of a motel sign… the silver hush of a moonlit landscape… the hollow loneliness of deserted city street lamps… the raucous revelry of a nightclub at midnight….NIGHT holds a special place in the heart of photography. The geometry of light and shadow creates an interplay of mystery, possibility, and the foreboding that accompanies paths of the unknown.

This October, as Halloween looms large on the horizon, 1650 invites you to visit THE DARK SIDE: A Juried Exhibit of Night Photography.  Photographic greats such as Brassai, George Tice, Peter Hujar, Weegee and Robert Brook are just a few examples of those who have contributed great works in the genre of night photography.  This month, at 1650, it is your turn.
