Tomorrow is the First Friday in June and there are so many photography shows of note in and out of Boston – opening, ongoing, or closing – that I thought a round-up was in order. I hope this is helpful in sorting through what is most exciting to you, as you pick and choose from Boston’s bumper crop.
