Theme: Spontaneous

Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen. Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see. This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way. Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.

Exhibition dates: 22 March – 15 April 2012

Awards:

• All selected entries are exhibited in our gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog.
• Juror’s Choice receives a 20×35" vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image.
• People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.
• Free matting and framing of accepted entries are offered for the duration of each of our exhibition, subject to standard sizes.
