Link: Mimi's Hard Work A Thank You, Gerry Yaum "Night Workers"

It is great to have hard working folks fighting to show your photography, first Thom B in New Orleans now Mimi in Bangkok. Not sure if this is all set in stone just yet but it looks like things are happening in regard to showing some of my photographs (via projection) along with the work of several others as part of the end game, closing night for Photo-Bangkok 2015. 

I will post anything further that I find or is sent to me. Will also probably put something in my CV about this. It is great to add more non Edmonton shows on the resume, first New Orleans, then Rosebud now Bangkok. Bit by bit the CV is starting to look more national and international in scope. 

This projection showing of my photographs would go under the title of "Night Workers". I am not sure how many images of mine will be shown but if there are 8 photographers as listed and 250 works thats around 31 per artist-photographer.

Thank you Mimi for your hard work and dedication as a art curator.
