The Art of Photography Show is an international exhibition of photographic art taking place April 25 - May 23, 2008. This presentation of world class photography is truly exquisite. A total of 12,216 photographic entries were submitted by artists from 46 countries around the world for this juried competition. The judge for this exhibit is Carol McCusker, who is the Curator of Photography at the Museum of Photographic Arts. Dr. McCusker selected 102 images -- the best of the best!

         Music by Tom Griesgraber, playing the Chapman Stick (very cool!)
