GOING

My friend, Ex-Transworld Skateboarding Magazine Art Director & Element artist Randy Layborne is doing his first solo photo show! So rad!!! His other art is uploaded onto his website, Look Forward to the Past. Check it out.

And it is also the first show of the new gallery, Concepia.

Our first exhibition at Concepia features the work of Canadian photographer, Randy Laybourne. This stunning series of photographs captured during a journey from California to British Columbia, showcases his exceptional talent as a photographer. Shot with a variety of camera and films, it documents the small nuances of life that we often walk straight past. From aging roller-coasters to commercial signs, Randy's range of subjects is diverse, but the emotional connection is consistent throughout. It's classic Americana photography, but with a focus on the unusual.

Show opens on March 28th at 2pm. There will be a reception to meet the photographer, and also to celebrate the opening of Concepia. Come join us at the new Churchill building, above the ferry landing. Opening runs till 5pm, and is free for all to attend.

Photographer's Statement about the show:
Going by Randy Laybourne

For years I have been taking photos. With each new day I make sure I have at least two cameras and enough rolls of film (color and B&W) to capture what's next. People have expressed their curiosity at my decision to shoot mostly with film rather than digital. It can be expensive and risky but I find the process rewarding. There's something tangible and real about it.

My wife and I were recently married and upon our honeymoon and relocation to Canada we decided to take our time on the road. Without any particular deadline I had the freedom to take photo after photo. We were "Going" and this show is just a portion of what was captured.
