Hello all,
Just wanted to circulate the list of award winners from Images 2007 which just wrapped up this past Saturday. There's at least one Frameworker on there... maybe another? In any case, thanks to all the artists exhibiting this year, all of you who submitted work, and any of you who came out to some screenings... See more of you next year?!
Best,
Pablo
