In Focus 2016 Opening

On Thursday evening I attended the opening of the In Focus 2016 Exhibition here in Edmonton.  This photo show is curated by local artist Alexis Marie Chute and is being exhibited at DC3 gallery here in the city.  A local philanthropist, David Candler, operates this gallery.  It turns out that I knew David as an adolescent, when we attended the same church, the same high school, and went to Cubs together.  He is now a medical doctor and art collector and is running the gallery.  He generously allowed the In Focus Exhibition to use his space as part of the province wide Exposure Festival.  There are about two dozen photographers taking part in this show and most were in attendance.  Of course with that many participating artists, there were lots of guests and friends in attendance.  The place was pretty packed through the evening and it was nice to visit with everyone and see such interest in photography.  The show includes quite a varied selection of work that runs the gamut of all forms of subject matter and technique.  The images are on display until the end of February so I encourage anyone with an interest in photography to stop by and check out the work.  Two of my images are included in the show.  One is an image of Thor's Well, taken on the Oregon Coast in the spring of 2015.  The second is an image of the Crooked Trees in Saskatchewan, from several years ago...
