Last time, I wrote about the images I submitted to this photo contest which had Los Angeles city as a theme. Well, things went on pretty well since then as my Summer Melody photo (below) has been nominated to be part of the exhibition! Fourty-two photographers were selected for a total of fifty images, which were premiered yesterday (Thur 8/11) at the Wilshire Grand Hotel’s opening reception. The show will open offically tomorrow (Sat 8/13) at the Duncan Miller Gallery and stay on until mid-September.

The whole thing has really gained some momentum with articles being written in LA Times, Huffington Post, etc. The reception was part of the Downtown Art Walk too, something I had planned to do several times but always failed to. Anyway, I am really excited about this, and it’s too bad I could not attend the openings myself, but, as Daniel mentioned, the show is meant to travel, and I sincerely hope it will. How great would that be to bring it to Tokyo?!

Until then, the pieces of art on display are for sale, and the three most popular works will be rewarded with prizes. Part of the popularity will be measured by attendees reaction, while the usual Facebook ‘Like’ will count as one fourth of total fame. Works featured at the show can be viewed on the dedicated page, which you have to ‘Like’ before ‘Liking’ a specific photo. Here’s the direct link to my piece.

Talk to you soon for the results!
