Four virtual galleries through the lens of four urban planners. A simple approach with thought-provoking exhibits. The exhibitors created galleries that spanned a spectrum of techniques to transform photos into a series of story-telling journals and multi-layered visuals. The works showed that a photo can do more than simply be a nice visual; it can be one of the main components to connect with the stories and aspects of communities that can only be told through photos.
