Opening Reception for Contact Photo Festival – This Saturday
The opening reception for “On Toronto’s Water” is fast approaching this Saturday.
Just a reminder that you and a guest are cordially invited to the Opening Reception for Toni Skokovic’s “On Toronto’s Waters” photography exhibition as part of this years Contact Photography Festival.
The opening is May 7th from 6-9pm at Coolearth’s office and storefront gallery at 386 Pacific Avenue, and is a part of the Junction-wide opening for the Photo Festival. Snacks and refreshments including cocktails by Famous Last Words, our neighbouring cocktail bar, will be provided.
About the Exhibition:
Busy urban life often makes us neglect the natural in our midst. With a pause from everyday rush, this exhibit offers a look at the unexpected beauty of our local waterways and nature at our fingertips. Featuring intimate landscape imagery of Etobicoke Creek and Humber Bay, the photographic narrative offers a different, a more reflective, look into the waterways that made our city the gathering place for centuries.
So much of today’s natural and landscape photography is about faraway places and exotic vacation destinations. Epic hikes and destinations are quite often defined as prerequisites to experiencing the best of what nature has to offer. To me, however, the natural world around us hides stunning scenery, we just have to look and see. The beauty of the landscape is not in its exclusivity and remoteness, but rather in an impact derived from timing and our desire to see.
About the Photographer:
Toni Skokovic is a West Toronto-based Nature and Landscape Photographer. For Toni, photography provides a way of capturing a surprising perspective into the natural world that surrounds us. Evolving from a hobby, his visual creations have converged toward natural beauty found in unsuspecting locations and moments of visual inspiration. His goal is to record and share these moments through the medium of photography.
The exhibition will be up from May 1st to May 31st. We look forward to seeing you!
