OPENING
NIGHT
RECEPTION:
SATURDAY,
March 23,

7:30 -
10:30pm
This month, as
winter continues
to bear down,
1650 Gallery
welcomes your
artistic take on
the theme of
Snow & Ice:
Winter
Photography.
Whether it's
icicles hanging
from the garage
or icebergs in
Antarctica, snow
covered
mountains or
snowballs in the
face, sun on the
snow or a
snow-covered
Buick… 1650
wants images of
your world of
winter!
The haunting and
ethereal beauty
of snow and ice
is a rite of
passage and a
grand artistic
test for
photographers.
It challenges
their skill in
judging exposure
and contrast,
and it tests
their prowess in
printing a
palette of
gleaming whites
that dazzles the
senses. Those
who dare to meet
the challenges
of the harsh
winter elements
can be rewarded
with
one-of-a-kind
photographs that
are unique and
breathlessly
beautiful.
So put your snow
boots on, grab
your St. Bernard
and damn the
icebergs, full
steam ahead!
This month at
1650, you are
King of Cold as
we gather photos
for SNOW & ICE:
Winter
Photography.
Approximately
fifty works will
be chosen from
submitted
photographs to
be included in
the SNOW & ICE
exhibition at
1650 Gallery in
the Echo Park
neighborhood of
Los Angeles.
Additional works
may also be
selected for an
online gallery
exhibition page.
There is an
entry fee of $25
for up to 5
images.
Additional
entries may be
submitted for $5
each.
All accepted
entries must
submit a high
res jpeg
(300-360 dpi ,
minimum size
5x7") to be
included in the
printed SHOW
CATALOG.
We offer free
matting and
framing for
accepted
photographs that
fit our pre-cut
mat sizes for
the duration of
the exhibition.
We have a
variety of
frames and mats
to choose from.
We will also
print your photo
for a nominal
fee if you are
accepted into
the show and
would prefer not
to mail a print.
Juror: Andrew
Overtoom.
Andrew Overtoom
is an award
winning

Angeles. He
