New Feature: Reno Blow-Up
Perhaps you’ve seen Blow-Up, the Michaelangleo Antonioni film about a fashion photographer struggling for artistic credibility in 1960’s swinging London. There is a scene in which the photographer straddles a fashion model for the perfect shot. Its the same level of dedication we imagine our local photographers take in their approach to their own photographs (without the mod simulated sex though).
Reno Blow-Up will showcase the photographs by members of the Reno and Its Discontents group on Flickr.com. There is a lot of talent out there and we want to help show it off. Anyone with a Flickr account can join the group–just make sure your photos are Reno related or they will be removed. Who knows, your photo might be selected as our next Reno Blow-Up.
