Concept:
Lightbox SF has created a series of photography exhibits called 200 Yards. The goal is to highlight a micro-neighborhood with the center point being the location of the 200 Yards exhibition. The idea is to get photographers to grab their cameras, explore the 200-yard radius we’ve mapped out and record what they see, what delights them, and what inspires them. We can’t wait to see what gets captured.
