It's Here!!

FotoWeek DC starts officially starts tomorrow, but the fun starts tonight! Heather Goss, DC photo goddess, and the force behind Ten Miles Square, is putting on a show with the Pink Line Project. There are a lot of people I know on that list, so I am very excited to see their work tonight. It is also going to be a great party, and great kickoff to FotoWeek. Yay!! It is finally here!

These nine photographers each create a narrative with a short series of images, building the viewer a bridge between the image of our Nation's Capital and the people actually living inside it. Their photographs inspect our city's subculture and the people who thrive in it, whether it is the pure ecstasy of a public baptism or the discovery of an elusive quiet moment as 18th Street rages nearby. Some create their own scenes, driven by the absurdity or crucial absences in our cityscapes. Others sneak in the backdoor of highly defined alternative lifestyles, finding characters dolled up for primetime, squeezed in the underbelly of the D.C. club scene. What they all have in common is a fixation on the individual in the hands of a much bigger picture.
