All Photographers Now!, a joint project between IVRG and the Musée de l’Elysée was featured at the New York Photo Festival, May 13-17, 2009. It allowed photographers all around the world to show their work at the festival. An installation shot with the projected image was mailed back. Over 4’000 images were uploaded during the 4-day festival. Daniel Tamburrino made it all work in NY.
