Photo exhibit at Canadian embassy
Flashes of Memory – The Post
I want to check out this photography exhibit at the Canadian Embassy.
They were just moments in time, gone and forgotten, except that photographers from the Black Star Agency were there to catch them on film, and now they’re on display in an exhibit of 330 photographs at the Canadian Embassy.Founded in New York in 1935, Black Star was one of the great photography agencies of the golden age of photojournalism, supplying many of the classic black-and-white images seen by millions of people in Life, Look, the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines now long gone. Some anonymous philanthropist bought Black Star’s collection of 291,049 photos and donated them to Canada’s Ryerson University, which lent this tasty sampling to the embassy, where they will be displayed until Aug. 29.
Sounds good, perhaps next month.
