It is a crossroads for new ideas in photography. Tbilisi Photo Festival is an event and I like events...

The Night of Photography has become the highlight of the Tbilisi Photo Festival, with at least 10,000 people coming each year to see some of the best images from across the globe. On the second night of the festival, 10 large media screens will be set up in the streets of Old Tbilisi between the baths of Abanotubani and Gudiashvili Square featuring the work of 111 photographers from 15 different countries.

The streets hum with life as people react to the visual feast around them, as they eat and drink in outdoor cafes and restaurants.
