The opening of Landscapes of Vancouver at the Yaletown Gallery was a very busy affair on Friday night. I managed to capture this shot before it got busier. Over 100 people came out to see the show, which runs until March 16th and features the work of 19 local photographers.
I know Leftantler was thrilled, as was I, by the number of people who came out. It was great connecting with friends, putting faces to many people we had only known through their photostreams previously.
My thoughts on the night took me back to what Alex Waterhouse-Hayward was talking about at Northern Voice
the week before. There is something special about seeing photgraphy printed, framed and in a gallery. Especially when it's someone you know!
It was actually like this for most of the two hours of the opening, with folk spreading out into the hallway and the Gelato shop next door.
Thanks to everyone who shared the occasion and made it such a memorable experience. If you have chance to visit the gallery over the next two weeks I strongly encourage you to do so. After you've been it would be great to hear what you thought, and whether your purchased a piece!
As you can see below the gallery itself became very busy. There are more photos from the opening night on my flickr page which demonstrate the excitement!
