On Tuesday, June 2, 2009, the D.C. chapter of the Women's Networking Forum hosted "Hot Shots!" an evening of fun and photography at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. The evening included guided tours of two very different photo exhibits: Picturing Progress: Hungarian Women Photographers, 1900-1945 and Fashion Forward: Photographs by Louise Dahl-Wolfe. The photography exhibits were nicely juxtaposed with a third exhibit featuring the gowns of Mary McFadden, entitled: Mary McFadden: Goddesses. The highlight of the evening was a presentation by Georgetown University lecturer, Vickie Fruehauf, M.F.A., who discussed techniques for taking a great photograph. The evening was a refreshing change for Washington business women, offering both an artistic and everyday perspective on photography.
