SUMMARY:NEWS: Upcoming Photo Show Solicits Images of Urban Abandonment
DESCRIPTION: \n\nThrough 8/13\nRecently\, one of Cleveland Photo Fest’s f
 ounder Jim Szudy and Cara Gaetano founded a new nonprofit to help fill in 
 the hole left by the cancellation of this year’s CPF and promote photogr
 aphy in Northeast Ohio.\nIt’s launching with a show that will take place
  at the Brownhoist from Saturday September 6 through Saturday September 27
 . It’s called Ghost Cities\, and it focuses on a genre of photography th
 at’s been dubbed “ruin porn”—photos of crumbing\, decaying buildin
 gs ranging from schools to hospital to old theaters to Atlantic City casin
 os bankrupted by Donald Trump (no\, really\, I have the book!) Photographe
 rs have built entire careers on this.\nPhotographers are invited to submit
  any work in which photography is the most prominent medium. Images\, they
  say\, “must be directly related to the theme of abandoned cities/towns/
 urban decay.” They add that “we will not accept any political\, religi
 ous or social agenda within the work. No street photography will be accept
 ed unless it depicts the ruin of a city or location somewhere in the image
 . Portraits/people are not the theme of the show.”\nThe deadline for sub
 mission is Wednesday August 13. You can find specific requirements for sub
 mission here. The show opens with a reception on Saturday September 6 @ 6-
 9PM\n[mappress mapid="4735"]
