Room "Galaxie"

Place d'Armes

From Oct 1st to 7th 2016

This was an exhibition of 100 photos and a 270 image slideshow I did as part of a yearly event for retirement homes in the region of Burgundy, France. The theme was:

"Show a positive image of the elderly and those who care for them in their everyday lives through photography."

I spent three weeks immersed in the life at this home and for part of that time actually lived there. It was a very rewarding experience, and allowed me to better appreciate this world which most of us envision with dread. Above all it taught me not to see “old people� but rather each individual and the caregivers who are in direct daily contact with them and for whom I have the utmost respect.

Thanks to Corinne Bonvalot whose idea sparked this exhibit.
Much gratitude to Yann GUERLESQUIN of laboratoire "by DAHINDEN" for the excellent quality of the prints.
