This Thursday evening, the Translight Photography Center will host the first Open Show Los Angeles event near the downtown area.
Conceived in 2008 under the name SideSlam, photographer and multimedia producer Tim Wagner, along with Adrianne Koteen and Melanie Light, created the event to give artists the opportunity to showcase their work and receive feedback for their efforts. Two years later, what began as a small gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area is now called Open Show and being held in cities throughout the world.
Open Show runs regular events where the public can see fresh, compelling work and interact directly with photographers, filmmakers and multimedia producers in high‐profile spaces. Our free monthly show is a social mixer plus screening event where five curated presenters (from professionals to students) have 10 minutes each to show a 20 image story or 4‐7 minute video/multimedia project.

If you haven’t heard the amazing news yet, a father and son team from Brooklyn, NY, had the brilliant idea to launch an iPhone into outer space while recording its 2010 space odyssey. The entire adventure lasted about 90 minutes and covered a distance of 19 miles (approximately 100,000 feet), putting the iPhone into the upper stratosphere where the homemade space capsule was able to capture some beautiful images of space and planet earth.
For more info regarding this inspiring accomplishment, visit the Brooklyn Space Program.
