The exhibition will be returning to Toronto for the 6th consecutive year this October in the beautiful Allen Lambert Galleria in BCE Place.



Look for 07 exhibition and event details to be posted on the Toronto exhibition website in the coming months.

There has been some controversy re Spencer Platt's Photo of the Year....
Some saw the image as a symbol of how war affects rich and poor, while others saw the subjects as callously indifferent to the mayhem around them. (from PDN article)
Both PDN and Speigel Online have articles.
