| Original Image, Riviera Theater Marquee, King Street, Charleston, SC © Doug Hickok I am proud to announce that Spoleto Festival USA selected this image to feature on their ticket brochure this year. Spoleto Festival USA is one of the largest international arts festivals, not just in the USA, but in the world. It has been a center piece of Charleston attractions since it was begun here in 1977 by the founders, who were looking for an American venue to correspond with the Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy. The two week event runs from late May through early June. Charleston was selected because it would "provide the charm of Spoleto as well as its wealth of theaters, churches and other performance spaces..." This image was made at night using a quick zoom blur with my tripod mounted zoom lens. I'll show you more images from the ticket brochure and the Spoleto website, in the following days. Stitch Design Co., an awarding winning design and marketing group, did exceptional work, as they always do, in designing the brochure and selecting images. |
