When the photography art exhibition held its closing ceremony at the Ember Creek, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi venue on January 20, 2013, 22 photographers dotted the large space with over a 100 pieces of different photographic works.
As the collection varied in sizes, so were there contents, but best of all was what they stood for; a historical collection that would tell the lifestyle and things that stayed prominent in today’s day-to-day living among the people.
