Up Close and Personal, Juried Photography Show
April 5, 2021
Featuring macro-photography: close-ups of small subjects. Zoom in on those moments that often go overlooked and share with us a new perspective. Whatever subject you choose (droplets of rain, the texture of a stone path, pencil shavings, a spider’s web…), highlight those tiny, unexpected moments we might’ve otherwise missed.
