In this season of trick-or-treating, the new exhibition at Irvine Contemporary is both a trick and a treat. "Phil Nesmith: Flight Patterns" may appear to be a photography show, but it's not. The pictures are actually photograms, created not by using a camera but instead by placing objects directly on light-sensitive glass plates and exposing them to light.

The opening reception is Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Irvine Contemporary, 1412 14th St. NW. 202-332-8767 or http://www.irvinecontemporary.com. The show continues through Dec. 12.
