Tonight, those in the New York area can stop by the reception for the exhibition, which features Wigfall’s photos, a video of Wigfall at work, and submissions by other participants, as well as writer and guest judge Luc Sante’s presentation of the award to Wigfall. The exhibit will run through August 8 and those not in New York can also see the submissions at www.wnyc.org/streetshots/.
