Don’t Take Pictures is pleased to announce the results of our online exhibition School Days. 45 photographs of school were selected and will be on view through February 18. Visit the exhibitions page to view the entire exhibition.
The first day of school picture is a time-honored tradition. Grinning (or pouting) children wait for the bus or pose with their sibling sporting new backpacks and lunch boxes. The phrase ‘school time’ conjures memories of childhood, but parents and teachers have their own visual associations beyond the posed portrait. From supplies and blackboards to sports and social events; whether constructed or documented, for School Days, Don’t Take Pictures presents photographs from or about school days.
Don’t Take Pictures holds free, quarterly calls for work for online exhibitions.
