When we were returning from our week away, we passed by Montpelier (deliberately!) to see the William GEDNEY exhibition at the Pavillion Populaire.
The expo was ‘OK’ – some of the images provided an insight into life in America in the early 70’s, but overall I think the general quality was pretty awful. Shame, but I can’t help thinking that just because the author was a homosexuel doesn’t really make an exhibition of his ‘work’ a masterpeice.
Georges SOUCHE – « Terrasses du Larzac »
We rang Georges SOUCHE our photographer friend who lives in these parts. We had already decided to visit his expo at the Méridienne des Sens in Clermont Hérault, and when he discovered that we were passing by Montpelier, suggested a visit to the Gazette Café where a friend of his, Dominique QUET was having a small exhibition of images taken when he was working as a photo-journalist.
Can’t understand the title as there were only about 30 images…
The images were generally very good, his books more photo albums, but at least he uses Nikon * !!
We managed a brief chat with Dominique, but despite messages and telephone calls, Georges managed to miss every rendezvous! Next year perhaps…
The café is a nice concept – it’s linked to the Montpelier Gazette and is basically open house for anyone who want’s to have a drink, read a book, have free WiFi… and of course it also provides a ‘wall’ for the occasional exhibition.
* We met a very nice German couple during our week away from home, and one of the first questions Bert, the husband, asked was « So, Nikon or Canon? » – this when he found out that I took photographs.
