CLICK!
I'm almost finished with the essay+photo I'm going to submit to the CLICK! exhibit contest. Very fun that the Smithsonian has invited regular folks to have a go at being featured. The Smithsonian, after all, is venerable, distinguished. Everyone knows you have to be Very Important, Very Established, if you want Smithsonian curators to take you seriously. They are very fussy about what they exhibit, as they probably should be.
But this year, CLICK! is inviting anyone who wants to participate - well, at least to submit entries. It's so modern for the Smithsonian. I'm impressed.
Pictures being (as they are) worth a thousand words, it's an interesting challenge to figure out how to explain what it is that photography makes possible without going on and on and on. And on. The writing as well as the process of choosing which image I want to submit has been lots of fun. Illuminating, too as I watch myself trying to decide what Smithsonian curators would like rather than scanning my pics for an image that makes sense to me. As if I could intuit the inner machinations of Smithsonian curatorial thinking.
For heaven's sake.

That sounds like a neat contest. Wouldn't it be something if you won?
fantastic
a reflection photo of the capitol
especially if it is in the window of CIA vehicle would be amazingly compelling I think
and every one of your photos
brings DC clearly into some
unusual view for me
the river and neighborhoods
the signs and windows
the trees and clouds
in my book, you've already won
any photo contest into which you
submit a click
love you so much,
Exciting, and a new thing to try. I would hope they feature a number of entries. When will you hear?
Wow, what a great contest! I'm pulling for you, no matter which photo you choose. :)
Hey, good luck on the contest! You are an old pro at the essay + photo thing! I've got my fingers crossed. They're going to love you!!
I would be very surprised if you were NOT chosen. I hope there is a catalog of the exhibit. Let me know!
I'll make some calls. Good luck!!
