As part of the celebration of the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC, the folks from RIT are going to light up the building for a Big Shot tonight.  RIT has been conducting these “painting with light” projects since 1987.  To put it in their words. Big Shot is “An annual night-time community photography project sponsored by the School of Photographic Arts & Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, New York, USA.”  Past projects include photographing the USS Intrepid, the Royal Palace in Stockholm, The George Eastman House in Rochester and many more.  To check out all 24 of the past Big Shot projects click on over to the Big Shot Gallery page.

If you would like to participate in tonight’s Big Shot event you will need to get to the museum by 7:30 PM (meet up at the main museum entrance) with your hand-held flash or flashlight.  Don’t forget to wear dark clothing as well.  If you do participate, you will receive an 8×10 photo of the final project, courtesy of Nikon Inc.  How cool is that?  If you would like more information on tonight’s event or the RIT Big Shot program, head to the official Big Shot website.  Tonight’s event details can be found by clicking on the 2009 Project link on the main site.
