… a CONTACT Photography post.
Gallery 1313 and Elaine Fleck Gallery are within a block of each other out in Parkdale and both were participating in this year’s festival.
The Elaine Fleck Gallery were featuring the work of one artist, Bill Hornbostel, in a retrospective show titled ‘Luminous Realism’. At Gallery 1313 I saw ‘Offshoot’, a collection of images from nine photographers. Unfortunately the latter was only on display until May 19th.
below: Hornbostel’s images are large, and shot at slightly longer exposures. Some of the photos, like this one of traffic on Bay Street south of Old city Hall, were taken in Toronto

below: Some interesting photographs by Ted Scott
below: When I first posted this, I thought these images were part of ‘Offshoot’ but I was mistaken. They are in fact part of a solo exhibit of digital photocollages by Janne Reuss (in a separate little room) titled ‘Thread(t)s and Narratives’ .
With apologies to the photographers whose work I haven’t shown (not missed on purpose): Joachim Oepkes, Ulla Djelweh, James Sutherland, and Eric Garsonnin.
The Bill Hornbostel show continues until the end of May
