[74] Junction - Latitude 44 Gallery Framing Decor

Another successful year for CONTACT.  The Junction represented the largest concentration of photographers in the city wide international photographic festival with 21 venues and 28 photographers. We all had coinciding openings and as usual we were packed here at Latitude 44 Gallery. Our show Parallel Adaptations was incredible.

Brian Anderson surreal photos examined the elemental concepts rock, lake and sky reflecting on the fragility of nature. Gary Carr’s landscapes captured the stark breathtaking beauty of nature touched by human intervention. Through their haunting urban images Tammy Hoy and Steve Jacobs captured vestiges of abandoned structures and locations. To remind us of the life that remains in these places despite the absence of the living.

The whole month had people coming specifically to see our show and learn about photography...

That is part of what we are about: Education and Exposure.
