Your First Look: 600 sq mi: Hidden Opening Photos

Crack open your smart phone's calendar entry for tomorrow and Sharpie this in: "Go check out 600 sq mi: Hidden opening reception at Xnihilo Gallery to shake ass, drink beer and appreciate art."

You may remember a few weeks ago when we went on and on about , Houstonist's second biennial photo show. Well, we're not finished yet: Today, 45 photographers got notice that their work was selected to be part of the show, and we couldn't be more excited about seeing their photos on the gallery wall this fall. Check after the jump for these photographers' names, and congratulate them if you know them (or even if you don't).

Of course, the website for our photo show, to noon Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Please keep checking back with the website, and don't forget to enter by noon and get your entry fee to us by the end of the day Wednesday. Good luck, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Photographers: Today is the last day to send us your submissions for , Houstonist's second biennial photo show. So what are you waiting for?

Houstonist was just working on our end-of-the-week checklist and realized that we haven't oversaturated you with reminders about , Houstonist's second biennial photo show. But maybe we should: The deadline for you to submit your photos is Monday, July 13, which leaves just three full days to get your work to us.

OK, photographers: You have one week left to submit your entries for , Houstonist's second biennial photo show. Don't say we didn't warn you.

We hope some of you remember , Houstonist's first photo show, which we held back in 2007. We knew there were a lot of talented photographers in Houston, but that show ended up being even better than we expected: around 60 amazing images from 39 photographers, plus one heck of an opening reception. So we were just thinking: Why not do it again?

Houstonist is two years old. We have made great strides during our second year. We are proud to have showcased the city and the work of many talented photographers during 600 sq mi. And, we are also proud and very relieved to have safely hosted over 60 folks on the Light Rail Pub Crawl. Thanks to our 11 veteran readers and our one new recruit. We love you. You're the jam in our jelly...

A few months ago, we announced our first-ever photo show, 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston. The idea was to give photographers, both professional and soon-to-be professional, a chance to show us (and you) what they see when they look at Houston. So we set things up with MSquared Gallery in the Heights, put out a call for entries and crossed our fingers. Well, it turns out the response was even better than we...

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor The Fuzzball. Spring is here and according to this photo's caption, "The mockingbirds are getting very nervous about their nests now that it's springtime!" Which is true and it's no fun being on the receiving end of an overprotective mockingbird! They'll buzz right over you, even going as far as attempting to peck at you to shoo you away from their...

Houstonist has known for a long time that there are a lot of talented professional photographers in this city. But what we didn't really realize — until we started the Houstonist flickr group about a year ago, that is — was how many incredible amateur/semi-pro photographers we have around here, too. We're constantly amazed by the images we see, both on- and offline, and a while back we started thinking to ourselves, "Wouldn't it be cool to host a gallery show of some of these photos?" And then we thought to ourselves, "Yes!" No, wait ... yes.
