SKEW

It's great to know that SKEW Gallery is once again part of Exposure. For the past few years they have consistently presented photography in their white walled space that often breaks new ground.

I heard that Sir Elton John was there awhile back picking up some pieces. I wonder if he could make Exposure 2010?

Buzz

I know it's still October but there's already a buzz about Exposure 2010.

I see a listing about Exposure in Up! magazine online.

Keep watching for lots more great coverage of Exposure 2010.

George Webber

Calgary-based photographer George Webber has brought much attention to groups that are often ignored. Rather than photographing his subjects as members of a fringe society, George pays homage to them.

The spirit of his work transcends the context in which they appear, be it: print, page, or screen.

An exhibition of his work will be shown during Exposure 2010 at Banff's Whtye Museum.

Reflection

It seems that as a society we're busier than ever.

Once in a while I try to unplug and take a moment to reflect. I was just thinking how thankful I am for my family and friends and the work I am able to contribute to.

Helping support the art of photography is a real privilege and today I'm going to consider all of the photographs that have brought more meaning to my life.

Mark Your Calendar

The Calgary launch of Exposure 2010 is Feb. 4th at Triangle Gallery.

Not only will you be able to celebrate the art of photography but view some terrific examples that evening.

Conceptual photography from Japan is scheduled to be on display at Triangle during the Festival.

Folsom's Photos

I was just out for a drive this morning and the sight of the Rockies was incredible.

It reminded me of John Folsom's work and how he takes inspiration from natural icons, such as the snowy peaks of Banff, and creates imagery that has a timeless quality.

We're lucky to be able to see his work in February during Exposure 2010 at Calgary's Newzones.

Exposure City?

I hear that The City of Calgary is going to be re-branded. The slogan of old is, "Heart of the New West."

I have to admit, it does seem a little flat.

Hey, I have an idea for a new slogan: Exposure City.

David Burdeny

Calgary's Herringer Kiss Gallery is well known for exhibiting photography and this tradition will continue in February when they show the work of David Burdeny.

An artist with a growing international reputation he is primarily self-taught. Using a large format camera and long exposures the resulting photographs retain an otherworldly quality that are visually captivating.

Do yourself a favour and check out his stuff during Exposure 2010.

Bill Anderson

Bill Anderson calls himself "a pessimist looking for reasons to become an optimist."

His subject matter is the complicated world that exists somewhere between the natural and manufactured.

No matter how he describes himself he's a master of large format photography as you can see by the image posted on the front page of http://www.exposure2010.ca/

Galleries

It's great to see how many galleries are behind Exposure this year.

I think it's a real testament to the work that has gone into the Festival during the past half decade.

Congratulations to all the Board members - past and present.

The 2010 Festival is going to be amazing.
