Posted by Jerrold Litwinenko / April 27, 2007

This event is part of the celebration that launches the CONTACT 2007 festival in style, in an evening of reveling with participating artists, photographers and special guests, music, projections and public displays of photography.

Prints from the following Toronto photographers will be shown at the exhibit:

That flyer is the awesome. Now to play the game: Guess who made which shot and win a prize*!




*note: there is no prize.

It's not fair, you guys get to live in a cool city and I gotta live in stupid Rochester: - (

My tantrum is over. I'm just going to pout now.

I recognize Carrie's bridge shot!

Submitted my humble offerings to the online pool. Looking forward to catching some fellow blogTOers @ the shindig next Friday :)

Hey Steve, a city is what you make of it, and we <b>make</b> Toronto cool.

This show was spread way too thin for the space and featured some a couple pieces of really weak (and terribly lit) work, very disappointed! Paled in comparison to work from others at less hyped openings.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there were plenty beholding. We appreciate and embrace your feedback (even though it's negative, anonymous, and redundantly copied and pasted in more than one place on the site).
