I am thankful to everyone who applied to be in Wegway's Juried
Photography Exhibition, part of the Contact Photography Festival at the Steam
Whistle Gallery in Toronto. The submissions were excellent and the
selection process required many difficult decisions.
And I'm deeply indebted to the jurors Becky Singleton and Matt
Wyatt. They offered their hard work and constant help absolutely free. Their
commitment to Wegway’s cause, along with everyone who applied, will help keep
Wegway publishing strange, beautiful and amazing things produced by today’s
artists.
