The Women’s Art Association of Canada is pleased to present: Capturing the Moment, as part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.

Capturing the Moment in photography refers to recording more than just any subject, scene, person or place. It involves recording a feeling or atmosphere of a specific moment in time. It is a moment unlike any other. In terms of genre it can be a landscape, a portrait, a street scene, or even an abstract version of reality. The photo tells a story.

The viewer can look for qualities of responsiveness, immediacy and emotion in this wide ranging exhibition. It creates the incentive to take time, to linger and wonder about the story the photo tells and the photographer’s motivation in capturing this particular moment.
