SPLIT SECOND IMPULSE

 

Online Event - Contests, Juried Art Shows - Photography Art Gallery

Open to all artists working in traditional or digital photography. Photographers posses not only a sharpened capability to see moments, even intuit those about to arrive but they have toned their ability to know how to make that split second decision which tells them that what they see, is worth capturing. It's an impelling force. This motivating force, sudden wish or urge prompts the unpremeditated act or feeling that has created masterpieces and important historical documentation over the millenium. We would love to see your "split second impulses"! We encourage all of you to participate by sending in your best 5 images. All participants will be given visibility.
