Hot Snapshots: FotoWeek D.C.

THIS WEEK: Photographs aren't just comment fodder on Facebook — they can be art too. FotoWeek DC starts Saturday, bringing with it all kinds of fun (and free) events, photography classes and some very high-profile photographers.

As part of the "NightVisions" event, would-be shutterbugs are encouraged to go out and snap anywhere in D.C. between 6 p.m. on Saturday and 6 a.m. on Sunday, then bring their handiwork into the FotoWeekDC studio in Georgetown (3338 M Street NW). Professional editors will be on hand to pick the best shot each photographer takes. Those chosen will then be printed, hung up and included in a digital slideshow that will play all week long. To join in, e-mail the Fotoweek crew at nightvisions@fotoweekdc.org.

Fotoweek will also mark the debut of FotoWalk, a 300-yard-long public gallery in Crystal City which will be open through March.

» Sat., Nov. 7-Sat., Nov. 14. For other event information check out Fotoweekdc.org.
