Art show in Toronto (Tonight!)
So I haven't ever been in an art show in my life. I don't print my work and show it to other people, I don't really exhibit it.

However, I was invited to be a "guest photoblogger" for an art show in Toronto. It's a the Toronto Free Gallery on Queen Street East.

These people have been on the radio advertising it, interviewing, and raising general awareness of photoblogging. Really the whole nine yards if you ask me. So one of the people that runs the gallery was stopping by the house here (she lives next door) and she liked my work. When I told her I put most of it on my livejournal, she asked me to come with photos of Toronto and be in the show.

The theme of the show is open spaces of Toronto.

So I selected 97 photos that I liked from the last month of wandering around Toronto.

My bio on the installation looks something like this:

"Jacob Appelbaum is a native of San Francisco California. He spends his
time traveling as a critical thinker in the field of network security.
He focuses his time working with positive progressive goal oriented
activists who work for a better planet. In April his travels will be
taking him to Turkey and into Iraq for a vacation. He almost always
carries his camera with him. These are 97 photos taken in the last month
while traveling around Toronto with his Canon 20D."

On another nerd topic relating to this, I am using Knoppix and a USB thumb drive for a slide show platform as the computers at the gallery aren't connected to the net.

Here are the photos that I am going to be displaying at the show in higher resolution than the web really allows for practically. These aren't the best of my work obviously. They had to meet certain requirements about location (an open space in Toronto) and it was last minute.
