On Monday Sugar and I noticed the shadows elongating.  On Tuesday we saw the telltale signs of autumn approaching.

phototaxis: the movement of an organism in response to the stimulus of light.

Like moths to a flame. PHOTOTAXIS is a gathering of a community of photographers and a live slideshow of our best work projected on the side of a rustic barn, under the stars and Mission Mountains at FarmRd in Polson, MT.

PHOTOTAXIS 2013, scheduled for Friday evening, August 23, 7pm-11pm with the slideshow beginning at 9pm, will be curated by me and will feature the work of emerging photographers alongside that of established photographers with the goal of strengthening our community through art, food, drink, and mutual admiration.

Your submissions and attendance are encouraged and welcome.
