Vancouver: Gallery to showcase photography of inner-city residents: “Random Perspectives: February 2010″ running June 25-30 at the Gathering Place community centre
In February and March, a dozen inner-city Vancouver residents took to the streets armed with digital cameras, basic photography skills and decidedly different perspectives in a town buzzing with Olympic excitement.
The Gathering Place, a community centre primarily for low-income people, had provided them with six Canon Powershot 8480 digital cameras and a handful of photography lessons, along with instructions to go out and document the Vancouver they knew.
The resulting images range in effect, from a rusted fire escape outside a worn, brick building to a towering Inukshuk against a vibrant multi-coloured sky illuminated by a setting sun.
A collection of 18 images from nine photographers will be presented in a photography show titled “Random Perspectives: February 2010,” on June 25-30 at the Gathering Place Community Centre on Helmcken Street. An opening reception will be held Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m.
