Here are some photos from the opening on Saturday at the Akokiniskway Gallery in Rosebud, Alberta. I am having 12 photos from the "Families of the Dump" series, and 8 photos from the "My Fathers Last Days" series shown. The exhibition runs until October 24th. On my photo talk day at the gallery I had probably over 70 people walk through. In the shows run I hope 500 to 1000 might make it to the images. Every time there is a performance of the play, new people are in town to see it, many times they visit the gallery before or after. 1000 folks might be a bit of a stretch but 500 vistors is definitely possible over the 5 week run of the exhibition.
