This video filmed by Roger Black  and edited by Ash Tanasiychuk really caught our attention when it was posted on VANDOCUMENT last month. It perfectly captures the energy and excitement of our launch party at the Museum of Vancouver, while beautifully documenting the artwork in the exhibition An Evolutionary Look into Vancouver Street Photography.  We’re thrilled … Continued
