The HP Gallery at CONTACT
Yesterday was media day for the 10th annual CONTACT Photography Festival. Along with the usual suspects from the MSM, Sam Javanrouh and I represented from the blogosphere. The setting was the temporary HP Gallery at 510 King Street West (near Brant). The Allied Properties donated space is even better than last year as it has way more natural light.
As Tanja previously mentioned, there's a photo contest happening at the Hype-like evolving gallery space. They've already received 400 submissions and are printing many of them out on four massive printers located in the gallery. The space will continue to evolve as new submissions go up on the walls and older ones are taken down.
