591 Spring Exhibition 2013

This year's 591 Spring Exhibition will be about Time - namely about days passing by and it's split into four main sections:

Morning

Afternoon

Evening

Night

Nothing easier after all. We just need your little contribution to renew once again the magic of a world wide collective experience as the 591 Spring Exhibition.

We would like you to submit pictures capturing the essence, the shifting moods of the 24 hour cycle. You can submit max 3 pictures to each category. The pictures should be max 1000 pixels on longest side, 72 dpi. Important - please write in your email what category your pictures should belong to.

The address to submit to is: daysgoby591@gmail.com

Deadline for submissons is 3 March 2013

The Spring Exhibition will premiere on 1 April and it will be a permanent exhibition. We will select 30 pictures from each category - in total 120 images.

Four slides before uncertainty

One day the currently running 591 Spring Exhibition will finish and all the selected pictures will be archived. I'm trying to make a little dream come true by asking all the participants to grant me the rights to feature their pictures into a light free document that I'd like to edit to celebrate this event. We could consider it some kind of exhibition catalogue. If possible it should have a resolution good enough to allow a sufficiently high print quality.

I was aiming to this one year ago with last edition of the Spring Exhibition. For some reasons, lack of my time above all, everything fell in the shadow and nothing came to light. Let's see whether this year's event will be a little bit more lucky.

Before I redirect my attention to something else, I'd like to present the four slides I prepared to introduce each of the four exhibition topics. I think I've done better artworks before. Yet, these have a special meaning to me, as I hardly will make some again. My license of the most known picture editing tool is about to expire and the installation will be removed. Again I'll fall in the land of uncertainty. I tried to use a good alternative, Gimp, in the past time but it wasn't exactly the same.

I need to think about this and quickly find a solution.

591 Spring Exhibition 2012: The Four Elements

The long wait has eventually finished.

It's been a tough task. I've never been so active on 591 blog as recently. I committed to take care of the "Earth" section, sending out invitations to all the photographers I know and getting in few weeks more than 100 answers from more than 50 people. This is not bad, provided I had to select 30 photographs from preferably thirty different people.

Now the selection task has finished. We have gathered our selections together and prepared the slideshow. Find a comfortable seat, on a sofa, on a long chair and click on the picture below: there are 120 pictures waiting to be seen. It will be a 10 minutes long break. A cup of tea could help to let you float through the large variety of interpretations that were given to each of the four topics.

I'm very happy to have contributed to this project. Next step should be a free downloadable PDF file collecting all the selected images.
