Im happy you included CONTACT, even though our festival is the largest in North America, IMHO, we need a stronger contingency of international photographers, which I’ve been trying to generate. If anyone is internested (photojournalist/artists/conceptualists alike), let me know and I can help you if youre interested for next year. And I’m excited about Mois de la Photo (bi-annual event), this september. If anyone is visiting, let me know also, and i’ll meet you in Montreal. cheers, bob (Noorderlicht is fabulous)….one last note, Moscow Annual photofestival, which is growing….I’ll leave more info about that as well later….bob

There is no end to the photo festivals, they grow as the number of photographers and galleries do-plus in areas where the ecomomy is stable or strong.“Fotoseptiembre USA” in San Antonio is one such festival. At first it was to be 4 weeks long, now it is 6 weeks long. Unlike other festivals, this has a heavy Mexican influence – which is healthy. It is also a great place to photograph, not too far from borderville!
