Tonight is the night for In-Sight Photography’s annual print auction that supports their national program of teaching photographic expression to disadvantaged high school kids from the streets of New York, the reservations of South Dakota and from the Brattleboro, VT area.

Here’s the link to the auction where hundreds of prints are available for modest starting prices from members of the Vermont Center for Photography, supporters of In-Sight Photography and many well known photographers who recognize the value of the program’s work with young people.
