Call for Work: Will Grossman Competition

The 4th annual Will Grossman Memorial Photo Competition is now open for submissions. For more information go to the Through This Lens website here.

Here's an image that's been exhibited before, but is not right now. That could change if you want it to!

Stay tuned as we will post calls for work regularly in this space. If you know of an opportunity to show work that we've missed, or if you are an exhibit space looking for photographic artists, please let us know. We're glad to spread the word!

Nik Software is now FREE!!!

Who says there is no such thing as a free software lunch? Well, probably no one. But Google has just announced that the Nik Software Collection is now available for download, totally free!

Fear not if you have just recently purchased the collection, your money will be refunded. To find out more and to download the software, go here.

We'll dismiss the critics who say that Google has no intention of supporting the package, will put their efforts elsewhere, and so why not give it away when no one will want it anyway.

Really?

Whatever the case, we'll not act uncharitably. Who are we to question the motives of a giant corporate entity? We'll just take the download and run...

Check this out: Upcoming Exhibition: Altered Narratives

If you are planning on being in the Charleston, SC area anytime between March 19th and April 1st be sure to stop in at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park and check out the exhibit: Altered Narratives: 19th Century Techniques Merge with 21st Century Visions. The exhibit features the "alternative process" work of 12 photographers including Raleigh's own Diana Bloomfield. The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, March 18 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Often thought relegated to the scrapheap of photographic history, many of the original photographic processes are alive and well as this exhibit no doubt will show. In an era of zeros and ones where so much work never makes it off the back-lit screen, there is something eminently satisfying about holding and viewing a well crafted hand-made print in any one of the original processes. Platinum, cyanotype, and gum bichromate, to name but a few, possess a quality unrivaled by any other methods. If you don't believe me, go see this exhibit.
