Whoo hoo! The Phillyist Framed 2008 photo show opening on July 27 was a big hit, thanks to several hundred of you: participants, organizers, and friends. Note: the photos are on display here through the end of July. Come see ‘em! Phillyist, who organized the show, did a fine job enumerating the folks to be thanked (and also posted more pix of the opening event), so let us just crib outrageously and echo their thanks to:

• Our winning photographers who gave their time, and framing money, to be the heart of our show.
• Our judges, local photogs Brad Maule, JJ Tiziou.
• Phillyist staffers Jen, Ross, Pencopal, and Andrew, as well as Phillyist fan and non-staffer Meghan, for being great extra hands and company on the opening night, and especially editor Jill and photo-&-architecture writer/show organizer Matthew Johnson for tons of work putting everything together.
• Sommer and Heather at DCist for helping form the show’s concept, which was modeled off of their similar show DCist Exposed.
• Frankie Bones from Center Stage Entertainment and our awesome DJ, Jared.
• Kylie and the others at the Framer’s Workroom (2103 Walnut).
• Pete at the Photo Lounge (1909 Chestnut) for our printing needs.
