Well the Wellington Flickr Photography Exhibition is now open! It seems a long time ago now that a bunch of us met up at the Paramount to start putting this together, hard to believe most of us didn't even know each other before then given we've been in pretty much daily email contact for the last few months! My inbox is going feel remarkably empty once we've taken it all down again...
It's amazing what we've managed to achieve given that none of us had mounted an exhibition before - events organising, project management etc yes but an exhibition no. All kinds of decision making needed done that was way beyond that which any of us expected. Considering we were a rather random bunch of people who volunteered rather than being carefully selected we somehow ended up with a fantastic breadth of skills, contacts and ideas that incredibly managed to cover all bases - no matter what came up someone on the team managed to find a person/solution to deal with it.
Yet again I'm finding myself in that state of semi-disbelief that we actually managed to make it happen, and to a standard well beyond everyone's expectations except perhaps our own. As with WGYF, Summer Gathering etc I'm reasonably sure that if any of us had any idea as to just quite what we were letting ourselves in for we'd have thought twice about committing to doing it, although this time everyone's really keen to do it all again next year!
