Now You See It, Now You Don’t
A topic often discussed in photography, especially with regard to buying and selling, is the archival quality of the print. When you are purchasing a photograph, much like investing in a classic car, you want it to last as long as possible without any colors fading. Most photographers or dealers will print on “archival” paper [...]

Gone Hunting (for Photos)
Students at work in Adams Morgan by Corinne Whiting
When you think DC, you don’t typically think “safari.” (Heck, with Tai Shan leaving us yesterday, now even the National Zoo seems far less exotic to explore.) But thanks to local photographer-entrepreneur E. David Luria, locals and visitors alike get the chance to go on a [...]

While Saturday proved to be more than just a ‘dusting,’ it was still less than our Snowpocalypse of December. And when there’s light, fluffy snow and a sunny day afterward, it’s just natural to have photographers out in droves to capture the beauty created around the capital area.
Enjoy.

FotoWeek DC 2009: What to See
FotoWeek Projections by coolmarie
Before last year there was a huge void in DC’s photography world. Despite being the home of National Geographic, the Newseum, the Washington Post, and many award winning photographers, we were missing an event to bring everyone together, to celebrate photography. Sure, some of the galleries in town would have a photography [...]

I was going to take today’s article and gripe about the “Follow the Rules” mandate now being enacted by most of the Metrobus drivers this week. But really, what’s the point? (And what exactly is their point, too, other than to make commuters surly and late?) So if you’d like [...]

Ring Toss by Carly & Art
Ever since seeing the Edward Burtynsky exhibit and attending Saturday’s lecture by Dr. William Rees at the Corcoran, I can’t stop thinking about Man vs Nature. As Dr. Rees explained (in a very eloquent and scientific manner), there are fundamental differences between our behaviors that make it virtually impossible for [...]

Over the past couple of years they’ve had an amazing lineup of photography exhibits, showcasing a dream team of photographers including Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams, [...]
