Looks Like Somebody's Got a Case of the Mondays

Article and Photography by Betsy Spruill Clarke

I terribly apologize for not posting anything, yesterday.  I fell into a bit of a busy hole that I couldn't climb out of.  And I'm sure...at least I hope...that many of you are looking forward to a "Flaunt" wrap-up.  And I'm workin' on it!

This isn't a cry out for pity.  But I'm hoping that the photo of the pig will soften you up just a bit, though, no?

Let's face it, May is quite a busy month for almost anyone, especially in DC.  I'm an event photographer, who temps for a local association's meetings director.  So, you can imagine, that May is going to be quite a blur, by the time June 1 comes around. 

That being said, here is what I promise to you that I'm doing in an attempt to combat any productivity slope on the blog:

More Interviews
I'm reaching out to local photographers to put them in the spotlight.  I hope that I'm asking the questions that you would want to know.  However, I really am open to suggestions of photographers to interview, as well as suggestions for questions! This is also true for gallery owners and exhibit producers.

Photo of the Week
Why do you think I'm asking for your flickr pages?  I really want to spotlight a photo (or two) every week, with encouragement for critiquing.  So send me those links and let me check out what you have!

Upcoming Calendar Items
Please keep sending me your press releases and heads ups on stuff around the area.  I love it and you never know what I will post.  I mean, of course if it has to do with local photography, then it's pretty much a shoe-in.  However, I also recently posted HABATAT Gallery's John Kuhn Piano upcoming arrival.  And why not...that piano is sweet!

Ideas? Thoughts?
Please fill in the blanks.  I'm open to any ideas because a blog should be constantly evolving.  So please, shoot me any thoughts on the areas that matter to you.  Or, even better, maybe you're interested in submitting to DC Shot List...by all means!  I would love it!

Here is what you can look for this week:

More calendar listings, including one for Critical Exposure, this Friday. 

An interview with Flaunt's Joshua Yospyn

A wrap-up piece on Flaunt

Maybe even the first photo of the week

Please stay tuned...it can only get better from here!
