NZFM "Passion" Exibition Opening.

This was a exhibition in the Auckland photography festival. which showcased photos by the New Zealand Flickr Meetups group. Which I had a photo in. the exhibition contained a varied range of photographs with different approaches and areas of interest. the opening had a more family reunion style feel than the sterility of auckland art fair. It was in kinder house, a cozy small space spanning two rooms with a entryway, the walls lined with photos and a projection display in one of the rooms. there was uniformity in the framing. green textured walls. and a dress casual dress code. The breif for the exibition was about what makes you passionate about photography, with each of the 47 framed photos having a small reasoning behind the individuals passion for the photographic practice. The authentic reasons were a nice deviant from the usual pretensious artistic statements acompanying most exhibitions. My initial thoughts of the space was the shock of how small it seemed at first but after a few minutes it started feeling large. the large collection of varying interests and subjects make the exibition very aproachable with each photo having their own personality within the confines of the black frame white border, a window into others lives and thoughts.
