Did you take photographs when you were younger? Here’s a call for entries for Early Works, which will be in both Portland and San Francisco in 2013.

Early Works
Curated by Laura Moya and Laura Valenti Jelen
Submission Deadline: Monday, February 4th 2013
Exhibition Venue: Newspace Center for Photography & RayKo Photo Center
Exhibition Dates: Newspace Center for Photography – April 5th – 28th 2013 (Portland Photo Month)

Early Works will be an exhibition that examines the naive imagery made by contemporary photographers when they were children. These early images often reveal surprising talent, visual intuition, and honesty. Kept for many decades in shoeboxes and faded albums, the images are often cherished belongings that play a key role in defining the self as artist.

This exhibition will be a close look at photographers’ earliest works, paired with personal narratives about the images and their role in each photographers’ development as an artist.
