Last October I was lucky enough to find myself in Philadelphia at the same time as one of Zoe Strauss's Works-in-Progress Slide shows. I have been meaning to post the images I took while I was there for some time so here they finally are.

The whole slide show was a really nice experience. Zoe Strauss has a recap of the slide show I went to on her blog. After the show, Zoe told everyone to take the pictures off the wall and keep them at no extra charge. There were also signed laser prints (?) for sale for $5 or $10 and an assortment of postcards. The whole experience was the opposite of many art show at a traditional gallery there was no pretense and inaccessibility of the $100,000 9-foot print. All of that was striped away and what I got in return was very satisfying.
