Hi all! It's Sara, writing from what feels so far, far away from NYC. Over the last few weeks, team 20x200 has been gathering and scattering, then gathering and scattering again, squeezing out the last little bits of summer's rays and wanderlust before we find ourselves deep in the trenches of fall. I'm out West, nestled in the crook of the Rockies with warm light hovering in the big sky above while Jen's just about as far East as you can get, dipping her toes in the frothy swath of blue Atlantic. As we near the long weekend that traditionally waves farewell to the season, I'm betting that many of you too are itching to get out of town.
In the spirit of being on the road (again), we bring you Kevin Cyr's Stormville. Rusty and battered, but preserved in plastic paint—and in these prints, archival ink—the stories that Kevin's vehicles would tell if they could talk are for us to discern instead. I'm guessing this sunset-spattered van spent miles searching for perfect surf, music (or margaritas?), chasing love from one end of the country to the other before coming to a pause somewhere near Brooklyn. With pillows packed to the tops of windows, it looks as if it still might have been serving as a home away from home for the forever restless.
Kevin's own search is over: he's found his one and only and got married this past weekend. We're sending out huge congratulations and wishes for all the best! And so we're off—in celebration of love and new beginnings, even as we approach an end.
Also coming to a close soon: the 2010 Hey, Hot Shot! competition's final deadline is 8:00 p.m. EDT tonight. Photographers, enter your best work to be considered for a $10,000 grand prize that includes two years of gallery representation. All work submitted to HHS! is also reviewed for 20x200 editions. So if you want to see your photography here, submit it there, asap! Jen'll come round tomorrow with more to cheer about: a new edition, 20x200's 3rd birthday and maybe even a surprise or two for you.
