Welcome This month I've been totally focused on getting XYZ Photo Galley up and running. I'm on a couple of hundred mailing lists so you don't need to be. The gallery scene is back! There is a lot to check out. Note that seeing a print on the wall and taking in the texture scale and detail is a far more rewarding experience than flicking a screen. We are about building community. Feedback is welcome. Previous listings stored on reframe-refocus.xyz. Our goal is to reach as many people as we can and bring the photo community in Victoria together to know and experience all that we have. Each month our content moves to reframe-refocus.xyz for look buy, hire, labs and previous newsletters so that you can view a full list of what is here. |
