Larchmont, Grab Your Cameras! Make October 20th “A Day in the Life of Larchmont”

Take this call to action for amateur and professional photographers of all ages!

 Join the Larchmont Historical Society on October 20th to celebrate “A Day in the Life of Larchmont” and be part of an upcoming photography exhibit and reception.

 Grab your camera from midnight to midnight on Thursday, October 20th, and document 24 hours of the day and night in the entire 10538 area (from the Village of Larchmont to the Larchmont area in the unincorporated Town of Mamaroneck).

 This is the second “A Day in the Life of Larchmont” photo exhibit. The first was organized twenty years ago, in the spring of 1991, by Lynne Crowley to mark the centennial of the Village of Larchmont.

 Now the archivist of the Larchmont Historical Society, Crowley felt it was time to re-visit the event. “We’re excited to create an exhibit which will not only help to record our local history, but will also showcase some of the creative talent of our residents,” she says. “We hope to document a ‘snapshot in time’ in the history of Larchmont.”

 Photographers can submit up to ten photographs focusing on public or domestic life, work, school, play and iconic Larchmont images.

 Says Crowley, “This program was enthusiastically received by the community twenty years ago, and I hope that we will have the same level of enthusiasm and participation in 2011.”
