Molly Tierney at Photography by Walt tells us that they’ve extended the deadline to participate in “Abstract Altadena,” the Altadena Arts Coalition’s community photo exhibit.  The new deadline is Sat., April 17, for the May 1 exhibition.

Go explore, and take pictures with the idea in mind that each image you look at could be seen differently. Try different perspectives on everyday objects or scenes. Or try extreme close ups, including parts of certain objects. That light post with the weathered decay close up leaves the viewer with only the texture and color present. Shadows on a wall or reflecting colors through a car window you can see this anywhere. The idea of what the object was is excused, and you are left with something new to take in. Anything ordinary can be seen abstractly. How can you create new abstract images from everyday imagery?? Make it interesting! Most importantly have fun!!

How to participate: Sign up at Photography by Walt and receive the email and instructions where the photos will be sent. ($15 participating fee)  You will be submitting up to three Jpeg images for the upcoming event on May 1 (one will be selected). The community project will be on display in the Galloway Alley with the Altadena Arts Coalition May 1st event. Same location where Project Altadena was held!
