The talented and wonderful Misty Richmond (she’s my sister, but I’d say that even if she weren’t), will be exhibiting her work along with other photographers tonight at the first-ever Fotovisiion SlideSlam in Berkeley. Each photograher will take a few minutes to talk about his or her project, and photos will be displayed in a slideshow on a big screen.
