Tate Shaw and Kristen Merola at VSW did such an amazing job with the installation of this show—I was blown away when I walked in on Friday night and saw it for the first time. I do believe this is my first solo show!

Thanks to everyone who came out—it was great to see familiar faces and to meet new ones. (and thanks, Deirdre, for remembering your camera!)

And (gulp) the weather wasn’t even that bad.

    Oh, I wish I could go to the opening. Maybe I’ll be able to take a road trip up there before it closes. Best of luck!

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.
