DCist Exposed tonight!

Photo by Max Cook

The Washington Post Style section says you should go to the DCist Exposed opening tonight at Flashpoint, and I agree!
Exhibit "DCist Exposed"

The all-things-Washington blog DCist has long published an image each day spotlighting sights from the city, but three years ago the staff decided to put photography on display in an even more tangible way. They launched "DCist Exposed": a two-week, juried exhibit showing the photography of emerging artists like those published on the blog. The exhibit's timing proved to be dead-on; everywhere you go these days, amateur photogs are toting hulking cameras in hopes of documenting their lives. Today, Exposed returns with nearly 50 images plucked from more than 800 entries; expect more Washington scenes, more novel perspectives. (If you're wondering about how "real" the DCist images are, managing editor and Exposed judge Heather Goss told us photographers are discouraged from heavily manipulating the photos but organizers accept that lots of photos these days are tweaked for such qualities as contrast.) Free. Reception today, 5-9 p.m. The show continues Tuesdays-Saturdays noon-6 p.m. through March 7. Gallery at Flashpoint, 916 G St. NW. 202-315-1310 or visit http://www.flashpointdc.org.

If you like the photograph above, which will be shown in Exposed, then you should vote for the photographer Max Cook in the Washingtonian's color photo contest here.
