World Press Photo Exhibition

Just got back from the World Press Photo Exhibition in Montreal. It's at the Just For Laughs museum. It was great and really worth the money, only $12. I have a great appreciation for photojournalists and how they put themselves in harms way and are able to create such stunning work. The quality of the prints was fantastic and I really was impressed by the color saturation on some of the images. We (I went with a friend) did notice a difference in sharpness of images we thought were taken with medium or large format cameras & 35mm ones. The prints were very large for some and probably pushed a bit too close to the capacity of the file. We also left there thinking how lucky we are to live in a place that is without the conditions we saw tonight. There were some photo essays and I really payed attention to the stories that were being told.
