To me, the biggest thing lacking from the FestX was a DIY spirit. Why not have photos in bars, coffee shops, and tattoo parlours? Toronto paints the town in CONTACT stickers when that festival is on. Ottawa could be a city similarly transformed and brought together by photography. I intend to do my part, and would be happy to help in organizing and coordinating. Quite right.

The Ottawa Month of Photography (TOMOP) is an ad hoc thing and not really meant (as far as I understand it) to replace anything. It seems to be more of a DIY kind of thing, so I suggest to anyone who is interested in something like this to DIY. Festival X is not defunct, just on hiatus (’tho their web site

Let us hope that the uninsipred but appropriately named new festival outlasts it's predecessor. Festival X was a terrible name anyway.
