“Proof” Photo Exhibit

1–2 minutes

To read

Another really cool and free exhibit at the CMA. A fine demonstration of photo journalism documented by way of the contact sheet – (that sheet of camera film with multiple photos of the same image of which you pick out the best ones). With digital cameras we have a new type of “contact sheet”. We just snap and immediately look at the picture or take a bunch of shots and delete the bad ones or slap a filter on it! It’s all good, I suppose.

Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit, particularly at the height of this “COVID-19 Pandemic”. Masks and reservations were required to get in – even though it was free – to limit the number of people entering at a time. It was even quieter than usual, but good to get out and feel some normality. peace
