Last night was 7x7 Magazine's Bring on the Night silent auction benefit for SF Camerawork, where they auctioned off the top 25 photographs in their recent contest.
It's kinda neat to be in this position, although new and somewhat awkward :)
Some of my favorites:
- Northern California Armenian Lesbian Ninja School
- Excelsior Mormon Correctional Consortium
- Northern California Anarchist Small Business Owners Dance Troupe
- Northeast Japanese Republican Support Group (ouch)
- Pacific Heights Vietnamese Drinking Cell
- District 9 Anarchist Pharmacists Association
- Maritime Filipino Environmental Support Group (yarr, that be me!)
- District 10 Armenian Rape Prevention Dining Club
- Urban Atheist Children's Gathering
I'm pleased to announce that the above photo that I shot (at Club Deluxe last December) has been selected as a top ten finalist in 7x7 Magazine's Bring on the Night Photography contest!
Prints of the top 25 photos are being auctioned off to benefit SF Camerawork, a "non-profit organization encouraging emerging and mid-career artists to explore new directions in photography and related media by fostering creative forms of expression that push existing boundaries".
Congrats also go to Derek, who I noticed was also on the list of top ten photos for this contest as well!
I'm excited that my photography is slowly making its way into the public eye. I'm even more proud that I've been forgiving enough to myself and to my artwork that I feel comfortable in submitting my photography to these kinds of things. Self-criticism is a hard to thing to overcome.
The final papers aren't yet signed, but this is where my new home is, starting next month...
I love love love the location! My commute will be easier, whether it's driving or public trans. It's a small studio, but in really great shape, the building is well maintained. Now to browse Apartment Therapy's Smallest Coolest Space contest for inspiration on how to optimize the space...
Needless to say, I'm purging a lot of my old extraneous belongings and simplifying how I live. Definitely a good thing.
