Send us 3 of your best pics - as long as they come from your phone.

We'll show them for all the world to see on April 14.

BUT! YO! HOLD ON!

We're going to pick the best ones and put 'em in a book! Printed by A & I!

Which you can buy. Only $10! On that evening! With your name in it and everything!

Proceeds from the book go to a charity for kids learning photography (Snapshop).

That's right - your future competitors.

Show your character and photos anyway. We'll present them whether you win or not.

Plus pizza and beer (and veggies, fruit, sodas, wine, and like-that-there, too).

The slideshow is open to ALL. Come even even if you don't submit photos.

But, really....You got a phone, right? They all come with cameras, right?

~

Here's what we need from you:

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 11:59 PM, March 24, 2011

NUMBER: Up to three.

SIZE: 1,200 pixels minimum on the short side.

COLOR SPACE: sRGB

FILE TYPE: JPG

RESOLUTION: Don't worry about it! Whatever!

You are going to name each file like this:

FirstName_LastName_1, FirstName_LastName_2, FirstName_LastName_3

You get the idea.

Submit your photos by March 24, here:
http://monthofphotography.com/participate/pintsandpixels/

OR

You're just gonna show up at the party with your pictures on a thumb drive or CD
and we'll show them at the slideshow (but you won't be in the competition).

Either way, be prepared to maybe, perhaps, we-don't-know, WIN A DOOR PRIZE.

IT COULD HAPPEN!

$5 for Students, $10 for everyone else.

PRE-PAY ATTENDANCE (no fee to submit images) here:
http://asmpla20110414.eventbrite.com/

“Plastic Perception” a toy camera photography contest

Long Beach City College presents “Plastic Perception” a toy camera photography contest.

“Photographing with simple plastic lens, these low-tech devices came to be popular with photographers, Plastic cameras, such as the original Diana and Holga appeal to a wide range of people. To some, they are a novelty; a cheap toy to play with. For many veteran photographers, they are a breath of fresh vision, allowing lightness and joy back into tired eyes.” – Michelle Bates, Toying with Creativity.

Photographers Night - Aquarium of the Pacific

Now is your chance to take the photos you have always wanted. Back by popular demand, on this night, the Aquarium will be available to photographers for the sole purpose of getting their dream photos without having to worry about the general public either getting in their shots or being bothered by their equipment.

Take your time, set up your shots, and enjoy. In order to create the best environment for our photographers, we will be limiting ticket sales. We highly encourage you to purchase your tickets online ahead of time to guarantee a spot or you may be turned away at the door.

Normally, lights begin to dim as 9:00 p.m. approaches, but on this night, the lights will remain on in all the exhibits in order to provide the best opportunities for photography.*

Cost: $23.95 per person, $18.95 for Aquarium members. No other discounts or special offers will be accepted for this evening.

We are partnering with local camera shop Tuttle Cameras and offering free lens rentals during the event. Nikon and Canon lenses will be available for check out with a valid driver's license. Lighting will also be set up at a couple different stations throughout the Aquarium to allow photographers that don't have that equipment the opportunity to try it out by mounting it to their camera's hot shoe.

Share your photos!

We love to see what you come up with, so please share your photos in our Aquarium of the Pacific Flickr Group after the event. You need to have a Flickr account first (they're free). Then join the group and share your shots. Tag them with aopnite0110.

Photo contest

In addition to offering this unique night, anyone who wishes to participate is automatically qualified to enter a special photo contest. This is a great opportunity to share your best shots of the night with the Aquarium of the Pacific. Simply upload your favorites to our Aquarium of the Pacific Flickr Group and tag them with pnc01312010 to enter. Aquarium staff will judge entries. Entry deadline is midnight February 14, 2010. Grand prize will be announced at a later date.
