*** Amateur ***

December 21, 2007 through February 14, 2008

To observe the oldest traditional celebration of humankind and welcome the return of the light in proper fashion BC Space is pleased to present a timely photographic Exhibition Celebration entitled Amateur.

Amateur literally translates from its Latin and later French origins as lover or someone who does something purely for the love of it without concern for other gain. Early photographers welcomed the designation and eagerly referred to themselves as amateurs in this sense of the word. All of the photographers in this show embraced their own scopophilia for the same reason and are sharing their work with other lovers of Writing With Light. At the conclusion of the exhibit each piece will be traded with another work in the show.

Amateur will commence with the Solstice Celebration on Friday, December 21, MMVII beginning at 7 PM. The moment of the Return of the Light will be duly observed at 10:08 PM, Pacific Daylight Time, by the Gregorian Calendar.
