Once again, the Ocean Beach Historical Society (OBHS) is doing its best to expose the community. OBHS is holding its 16th annual OB Exposed! photo exhibition and competition from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Point Loma Masonic Lodge on Friday, May 21. “It’s a chance to come out and learn about the history of the community,” said OBHS President Pat James. OB Exposed! showcases the best locally-snapped photos of Point Loma and Ocean Beach. Winners will be displayed at the event from six categories — best in show, best color, best black and white, best vintage, best “special effects” and best child under 16. “The vintage category is always a favorite because it brings out really cool, old photographs and there’s pictures that a lot of people involved with our society like to see,” James said. Participants will be able to select the winner of the people’s choice category and there will be a professional category for exhibit. OB native Noah Tafolla, host of the KPBS documentary series “Wonderland,” will emcee the event. “It has really become a neat annual event that we put on,” James said, “and we’re looking forward to another year of it.” In addition to the contest photos, OBHS will bring out part of its collection not yet seen by the public. James said the new collection on display includes a vintage photo of a farmer’s market on Newport Avenue and a shot of Azure Vista, former military housing on Sunset Cliffs, taken in 1949. “I haven’t seen a lot of pictures of the Azure Vista and this is a pretty neat shot of it,” James said. All of the photos on display will be added to the OBHS photo archives, which have steadily grown since it started along with the society in 1994. The archive currently has about 2,000 photos. “It’s just really exciting to receive these photos that are becoming more rare all the time,” James said. The Point Loma Masonic Lodge is located at 1711 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. in Ocean Beach. For more information about the Ocean Beach Historical Society, visit obhistory.wordpress.com.
