New Website!

Hi everyone!

I launched the new Dottie Lou Photography last week. I will be using this blog to update events, shows, and other things that I like.

Have a good day!

DCist Exposed Photography Show

From the press release:

DCist.com is pleased to announce our first ever DCist Exposed Photography Show at the Warehouse Arts Complex from March 9 -16, 2007. More than 35 local photographers, both amateur and professional, were chosen out of over 200 who submitted their work for the show through the DCist Flickr site. Every day DCist.com selects photos from this user-generated photo pool to use in its daily coverage of local news, arts and entertainment, politics, food and sports.

The exhibit will showcase new talent as they reveal the city to us through the eyes of people who live and work in the D.C. metro area. In a city too often seen purely as a collection of federal government buildings or a destination for tourists, these photographers capture the local music, art, architecture, and urban surroundings that give Washington, D.C. its unique cultural vibrancy.

An opening reception will be held Friday, March 9, 2007 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Warehouse is located at 1017-1021 7th Street NW, between New York Ave. and L St. in downtown Washington, DC, across the street from the new Washington Convention Center.

Upcoming Events

Here is some information on some upcoming shows and events:

The Washington DC Counter Culture Festival (the sale) will start at 4 at Dr. Dremo’s. This event is free.

Flux: An Art Sensory Overload (the show) will start at 5:30 at the Danville Auto Shop. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door for this event. Here is the info from the website:

In the metaphorical sea of urban America, artists have been drifting away with the tide, as sterile office buildings and chain franchises sail in and the rents skyrocket. In the latest area to fall victim to such conformity, Arlington’s Clarendon neighborhood, the Art Outlet is partnering with Walnut Street Development, artdc.org, Arlington Independent Media (AIM) and DC Conspiracy to cast the large anchor with its “Flux: An Art Sensory Overload” from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, January 27, at the Danville Body Shop, 1415 N. Danville Street in Arlington, VA 22201.

There will be live bands and lots of other entertainment at both events. Both events are metro accessible (Dr. Dremo’s is closer to Courthouse and the Danville Auto Shop is between Courthouse and Clarendon stops).

Hope to see you there!
