“Watt’s models and props suggest that queerness is not confined to a location. Instead, it is everywhere waiting to be discovered and activated in the places we expect it to be as much as the places we choose it to be. The pain, loss, love, and desire that flow through nightclubs and bath houses can be just as potent in a laundromat or pool.”

The first time the Vancouver Capture Photography Festival was held was in October of 2013. In a city known for its rich and dedicated photography culture, it was extremely well received. Two years later, it’s back; a soon-to-be annual event, Capture aims to “increase knowledge and appreciation of photography and lens-based art by emphasizing the cultural importance of photography in all its forms,” a mission succinctly described by festival executive director, Kim Spencer-Narin.
