It’s Friday. Take a break this afternoon and submit your application for the 2008 DCist Exposed Photography Show, then daydream about seeing your professionally framed prints hanging at Civilian Art Projects for all the world to see. Remember, your entries (along with your application and $5 fee) are due by midnight on January 13.
