The Titanic by Clint Baclawski

A mere matter of days away from deadline, I suppose I'll go ahead and apologize for the scattering of missed opportunities when it comes to daily Hot Shot hopeful spotlighting. As I recently mentioned, I'm wrapping up a degree and it's posing to be not quite as leisurely as I would like.

What I do like, however, is the number of student submissions coming in. Oh how I love to see what I'm up against. Today, take Clint Baclawski, a student in the MFA program at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. Perhaps you remember running into his work via panelist Joerg Colberg. His website is chock-full of compelling work and I would say it's worth some of your Sunday time. From his submitted statement:

My most current work depicts a spectacular American culture saturated with large-scale color imagery, consumerism, and forward momentum. The attractions featured in this series are both novel and commonplace, including parades, reenactments, fairs, and trade shows in ordinary communities around our country every day. Each event is transitory, challenging me to capture a single image before that scene is forever altered.

Just days until deadline. Utilize the weekend, enter today.
