Piece in "Chase the Light 2020"

Last weekend was the Photographic Center Northwest (PCNW)'s "Chase the Light" exhibition/fundraiser.

It was a fun idea that started the weekend before. The "Chase the Light" website said: "it kicked off with a weekend of photographic exploration June 13-14, 2020 where people from 29 states and 9 countries took off on photographic adventures." Anyone interested was supposed to make photos over those 48 hours (Saturday and Sunday), and then submit their best images by Monday afternoon. Quick turnaround! There were 330 photos submitted in total.

I headed out early on the morning of the 14th, and made these 5 photos during the 4 a.m. hour (with their titles underneath - click each image to enlarge):

A piece of mine was accepted, and I found it this past weekend on their website:

A few other pieces were already selling.


This was the piece they selected.

Check out the work and purchase a piece for their fundraiser if you'd like - it runs through Friday night.
