An Exhibition of Night Photography
A Night on the Hill


The Nocturnes.com and Schnetzler Photography invite all interested Night Photographers to submit work for the Night Photography Exhibition, A Night on the Hill, to be held at Farley's Cafe, on Potrero Hill, in San Francisco. The theme is "A Night on the Hill - Night photography of, from, and around Potrero Hill". Potrero Hill, also known as "Goat Hill" due to its pastoral past, offers great vistas in several directions from the top of the hill, as well as urban and industrial settings on and at the base of the hill. We will hang the show in May 2005 at Farley's Café - on 18th Street on Potrero Hill. This café has quite a bit of hanging space and is always showing some great art on the walls. Farley's is a true San Francisco institution and a vibrant part of the local community, as well as a meeting place for writers and artists of all types.

Eligibility
All photographers with an interest in night photography are invited to participate. It is not necessary to have a Potrero Hill address or connection. Come discover the joy of photographing our picturesque neighborhood at night (and drop by Farley's to warm up with a cup of coffee).

Medium/Presentation
This show is open to all forms of Night Photography, including digital. Work submitted will have to be framed or otherwise ready to hang - outer dimensions, not to exceed 16x20. As an adjunct to the exhibit, there will be a Web page that will serve as an online catalog and promotional tool during the run of the show, as well as a record of the exhibit, residing on The Nocturnes Web site, after the exhibit - a resource for night photographers, and those interested in night photography.

Selection
Selections will be made by Tim Baskerville of the Nocturnes (www.thenocturnes.com), Roger Hillyard (www.farleyscoffee.com) and Greta & Manu Schnetzler (www.schnetzler.com).

Exhibition will be installed at Farley's through the month of May, 2005. A reception for the Artists will be held at the cafe, on a date TBA.

Sales
All sales to be arranged directly with the artists - no commission taken by the venue or organizer.
Direct links to artist sites or emails will be provided on The Nocturnes Web site. Artwork remains Copyright of the participating artists. Pages on the Web site are Copyright, The Nocturnes, and Pacific Media Arts.

What to send
For the jurying, you should email us jpeg files, no larger than 200K. at 72 dpi, named in this fashion: First 3 Letters of your first name - Initial of Last name - followed by two digit number. For example - timb01.jpg. All lowercase letters please. The size of the image is to be no greater than 600 pixels in any one dimension - so, square medium format images will be 600x600 pixels; and 35mm images should be approximately 400x600 pixels.

If you send images via snail mail, the files should be small enough to fit on a floppy, although you can submit a CD - use lots of protective cardboard for shipping disk. A better alternative is to send us the URL of images that are already on a web page, and we can 'retrieve' these images via the Web.

Please print all pages of this form, fill them out (keeping a copy for your records)
