It was a special night at the 2nd evening of the 9th Edition Angkor Photo Festival, featuring the 1st Guest Curator slideshow at FCC, Exhibition opening at McDermott Gallery, and ending at the Loft with “Blow Up Angkor”.
Beginning with a lovely opening at the McDermott Gallery, viewers and photographers alike arrived for the anticipated Exhibitions of Herbie Yamaguchi | Japan “HATACHI NO SHOKEI” and Martin Usborne | UK “MUTE: THE SILENCE OF DOGS IN CARS”. The energy in the gallery was uplifting as people floated around viewing the work while socializing with colleagues and friends. John and Robina of McDermott Gallery have outdone themselves once again, thank you!
