A local group of photographers is once again putting on an exhibit in Ladner as part of the annual Capture Photography Festival.
The show, titled Idling South of the Tunnel, will feature between 15 to 20 photos fromdioptiks photography collective members Adina Shore, Tyler Garnham, Robert Lowe, Ronan Considine, Rick Pelletier and Alison Hogg.
Garnham says the theme of the show revolves around local change.
“There’s just a lot going on and it all seems to be south of the tunnel,” he says, referencing the unresolved George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project and proposed port expansion as examples.
Pelletier notes the exhibit provides a more contemporary way of looking at landscape as well.
Considine says the show also gives a chance for people to “see their community through a different light.”
An opening reception is set for Friday, April 6 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Stir Coffee House, 101-5085-48th Ave., Ladner.
The show will run for about a month, says Considine.
The Capture Photography Festival “strives to nurture emerging talent, engage community, and spark public dialogue about photography as an art form and a vessel for communication.” It was launched in 2013. This marks the second straight year the dioptiks have been involved.
