APA - HOST BROWN BAG EVENT

APA|DC Presents our January Brown Bag Discussion

Let’s Talk Equipment

As photographers we all have questions regarding which equipment is best suited for our creative/productive needs. Many times it's difficult to wade through marketing hype/sales pitches and get real world answers from knowledgeable professionals with a broad range of experience and understanding of our profession.

Hitting the wall with your current system? Wanting to upgrade and looking for practical advice? Searching for medium/large format solutions under $10k? New video capable DSLRs? Printers? Data storage systems? Other cool photo gadgets?


With our next APA/DC Brown Bag Meeting we have created a unique opportunity. Steve Hendrix with
Capture Integration has agreed to participate and share his unique insight into our professional needs and answer any questions we may have. Let’s discuss topics such as Data Storage/Management, Creative/Productive Applications, Monitors, Calibration, Printers, Workflow, Video and more. Learn what’s new and exciting.

As with all APA/DC Brown Bag Meetings this will be an informal discussion where all participate and share their experience. Come ask questions, share what’s working for you, have fun, and get motivated in the New Year!

DC FOTO WEEK EVENT




  
 ‘Night Visions’ Exhibition Pulls All-Nighter for Area Photographers, Offering Guaranteed Georgetown Display 


 Drawing on the huge success of last year’s inaugural celebration of photography, FotoWeek/DC will this year host “N 
ight Visions,” an open-to-all-comers exhibition, the very content of which will not be determined until the end of a frenzied all- night shoot and editing session centered in, though not limited to, Washington, DC. 


The purpose of the “Night Visions” exhibition is to recreate the adrenalin rush of a photo student’s end-of-term all- nighter or a professional’s laser-focused intensity against a drop- dead deadline. 

“It’s all about sucking it up, creating an image, meeting the deadline and doing something great,” declared Washington photographer Peter Garfield, one of "Night Visions" originators. 

Images selected by a team of veteran, nationally known photography editors will be printed and displayed—literally within hours of their selection—at FotoWeek Central 1, 3338 M Street NW in Georgetown during an all-night edit-cum-photo-party featuring free snacks, coffee, music and a cash bar. 

Editors to date: (Bonnie Stutski(Smithsonian Magazine) Nadia Hughes(National Geographic) David Hicks (Washingtonian) Jayme Mclellen( Civilian Art Projects Gallery DC)

Photos will be on display for a week. Everyone who takes part in “Night Visions” is guaranteed a spot on the wall. 
The concept is simple; the rules minimal: 

Any participant, amateur, student or professional, will be asked to submit up to 30 digital images created during the hours from sundown to sun-up Saturday night, November 7th. from which one will be selected for display. All forms of photography are eligible: landscape, still life, portraiture, documentary—you name it. Though most images are likely to be made in the Washington area, there are no restrictions here either—just that every photo be made that night. 


Once finished, the photographer will be required to hand-carry the digital images (in camera, or on disk,) to FotoWeek Central where they will be downloaded and displayed to a panel of photo editors, rotating throughout the night between the hours of 6pm Saturday the 7th until 6am, Sunday the 8th. The editors will select one great image from each photographer’s take to be printed and displayed during a week-long celebration of the Washington area’s local photography talent. 

“We want this to be the shared experience of a photo class or a photo shoot, in which everyone gets together, talking photography and meeting their colleagues in a great atmosphere –and at a great party.” Peter Garfield said.

[The “Night Visions” exhibition is made possible by the generous support of Mac Business Solutions , as well as by generous grants from Canon, Epson and Apple.]
