Reflections From InLight


Current national events are to the point where they weary me to speak of them, or write an opinion few will read, and half of the billion-eyed reader will contest as misled at best and false at worst. So. I'm retreating today to pictures of a marvelous reent evening.

These are images from InLight Richmond, produced by the 30-year-old 1708 Gallery and the Wearable Art component co-sponsored by The Phoenix of Carytown. This post's pictures are from photographers Jay Paul and Amie Oliver and constitute a mere sampling.

The top image and the following two are from Jay Paul.
