BAPC: Bay Area Street Photography Now
Most artists are doing basically the same thing – staying off the streets.
— Edward Ruscha
This show, inspired in part by the book and online project Street Photography Now, is an exploration of this topic by six members of our collective. The photographers use a broad spectrum of photographic technology—from silver gelatin to digital cameraphones—to candidly portray life in public places. Their vision elevates the ordinary into realms of beauty and myth.

One Shot X 2 is designed to showcase the work of our members, who are all accomplished photographic artists working in various styles. In our inaugural One Shot in 2003, we had the challenge of selecting just one image that would represent our work to the public.
One Shot X 2 expands upon our initial concept of each person presenting one image. The challenge for members in the current show is to select, instead of a single photograph, a pair of images that are visually and/or conceptually harmonious. The final challenge is for us to sequence this exhibit of non-curated and non-themed work so that the show is cohesive and pleasing.
This year, as every year, we feel we have met these challenges, and we present to you a dynamic and intriguing show of our members’ work.
