Finally we managed to get the sign put up, so people now know what is going on at 1332 Queen Street West. Lots of people stopped to ask us about the gallery, since they know it is a gallery now, due to the sign.
Can’t believe that between 5 photographers, none of us had a camera. But Mat did manage to snap a shot with his crackberry and post it to Flickr.
If you are in the neighbourhood, cruise by and see our handy work. Not bad for 5 guys who don’t know what they are doing…
