Snapshot Aesthetic Theme: Snapshot Photography The history of snapshot photography is one of ordinary people recording the activities of their daily lives, the places they lived and visited, and the friends and family that surrounded them. Pictures that seem to have a casual look and subject matter that seems strikingly ordinary and familiar, yet at the same time often ironic, humorous, extremely detailed and descriptive of time and place. Millions of these contemporary snapshots are being shared over the Internet on Facebook, Flilcker, MySpace, email, and personal websites. “Celebrating the moments of your life” Juror: Tom Prado Tom Prado is a multi-media conceptual artist who explores societal issues through an ironic lens. His current project, “Double Take,” is a series of diptychs, which challenge the veracity of the photographic image. Besides being featured in several shows inside and outside of New York, Tom has been featured in arts journals, album covers, and won awards in photographic competitions. Tom earned his BFA at Rhode Island School of Design and lives in New York City. Deadline to submit EXTENDED TO: November 12, 2011.
