Photographic convergence

The table across from us at Art for the Cash Poor last weekend was Project Basho, a new photographer’s group near 3rd and Girard that offers darkrooms, classes and a gallery. Then today I got something from Yo! darkroom, which sounds like the same sort of deal at 23rd and Arch. Yo! has an open house Friday.

Anyone know anything about why this sudden flowering of photographic groups is happening? Are they aware of each other or is it just a coincidence?

Anywy, thought some of you would like to know this was happening.

    I was at the new 113 n. 23rd st. photo space on friday night for their opening party. YO Darkroom has 2 galleries in it too. One in the front and the other seconds as a studio…

    thanks for the info. While we’re doing photographic stuff, here’s some info from photographer Ted Adams:

    Picture Party presents: GENUS AMERICANUS

    From Route 66 to the Lincoln Highway. From Tinseltown to Motown. Podunk to Manayunk. Pornography to preachers, maternity wards to crack dens. Malt shops to malt liquor. Yosemite to the South Bronx. Flag-waving, flag-burning. Photographs of the American species in all his/her glory — from sea to shining sea!
