I'm on the customer mailing list for Hunt's Photo & Video as well as Calumet Photographic in Cambridge, and each store has some interesting events and workshops coming up this spring and summer.

There were a few twists and turns with the March contest, but in the end, photographers Lance Keimig and Christian Waeber combined to choose an impressive array of strong images that best illustrated the theme, "Nighttime is the right time."

Time to close voting and move on with the choices for the 10 best "Nighttime" photos. There's a little wrinkle this time, thanks to the honesty of our judge.

Paris, Hemingway wrote, is a "moveable feast" that stays with you no matter where you go. Photographer Jack Dzamba latched onto the idea and came to think of Boston in the same way. Suddenly, everywhere he looked, he saw intimations of Paris: the Cabot Building is reminiscent of Place des Voges, Genzyme headquarters at night recalls Notre Dame, and myriad hotels, restaurants, and shops, like Rouvalis Flowers on Beacon Hill (at left), exude an unmistakeable French flair. This book, with its moody black-and-white photographs of buildings and scenes, makes Dzamba's case for the link between the two great cities.

Our March judge, professional photographer Lance Keimig, has made his selection of the 50 finalists from among 300 photos entered in the "Nighttime is the right time" contest.

I've finished the final gallery for the March "Nighttime" contest -- Gallery 6. If you don't see your photo in any of the galleries, it's because:

a) It was a sunset, dusk, or twilight shot
b) It wasn't taken at night
c) You entered more than one photo

See all the entries as they appear on Flickr here.

If you think I made a mistake, which believe me, is highly likely, just send me a note at raw@boston.com.

Folks, Lance Keimig and I were unable to keep our Monday evening appointment to judge the March "Nighttime" contest, so it's rescheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11 a.m. I'll keep you posted.

You voted for "April showers" as the theme for this month, and it looks like Mother Nature heard you -- it's pouring outside today!
