The premiere opening of the Lens Culture International Exposure Awards show at Gallery 291 in San Francisco was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who came out on a magical night in one of our favorite cities. The show of award-winning photographs by 31 contemporary photographers continues through Saturday April 30. Come to say hello and to discover some great talents from all over the world.

From here, the exhibition travels to galleries in New York and Paris. Cheers!

Thanks to San Francisco-based photographer Stella Kalaw for taking lots of fun photos during the evening. More photos by Stella and by photographer Stan Lipsitz (Thanks, Stan!) on Lens Culture's Facebook site: http://on.fb.me/LCAwards.

You can also preview the entire exhibition catalog online (and then buy one, please!) at Blurb. And, last but not least, details about each of the winning photographers, including their website addresses are here at Lens Culture.
