DCist Exposed Photography Show

Kudos to the winners of the DCist Exposed 2008 photo contest, including my friend Jaime, whose "D.C. 596," above, is one of the winning shots.

About the contest:

"Over 250 people entered the 2008 DCist Exposed contest and gave us 601 original images from which to choose. We mulled and pondered and tore our hair out a little bit, but please follow the jump (if you haven't already) to find 47 incredible photos that we think capture Washington, D.C. and the surrounding region with an eye trained to find the rich culture too often hidden by the capital's bureaucratic image. "

Check out all the winning photos on Flickr. You can also see them live and in person from March 7-15 at Civilian Arts Projects in Penn Quarter; get info on the opening reception and a chance to meet the artists here.
