In an instant: a moment of time defined as infinitesimal. So short that it becomes difficult to experience. The click of a shutter is much longer, so maybe the realm of instant photography, the length of an instant needs to be redefined. It could be a moment short enough to catch the glance of a passer-by, or a period of time long enough to cause shapes and light to become abstract.

We are gathering entries for our sixth instant photography exhibition. Submissions can be dropped off or mailed in to Beau Photo. There is an entry fee of $15.00 + GST for submission of one to three photos. Each person will have up to three images included in the show, and a selection of entries will be chosen for framing and exhibition style hanging. Prizes will be awarded in several categories.
