I&#8217;ve learned a little bit from all of them,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I really learned photography on the streets of Paris. On the day of the second Bush inaugural in 2005, I bought my first digital camera [knowing absolutely nothing, at a store called Fnac]. Suddenly doing photography was free, and I was living in one of the most photogenic cities in the world, the birthplace of photography itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition is a retrospective of my past four years of work, including a series of photos from central Paris, images from Burning Man 2009, photos of Uptown Kingston and a series from the Book of Blue, portraits of women looking in mirrors. The exhibition includes about 27 images from the United States, Canada, France and Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition&#8217;s curator is Sarah Bissonnette-Adler. [She&#8217;s my assistant here in Kingston who spent weeks searching through my collection of 2 terabyte disk drives looking for cool photos, and even found a few. She patiently took care of all the editing and framing, and set up the catalogue of prints as well.]<\/p>\n<p>I am devoting the whole evening to this and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be at it all day Saturday as we hang the show. Please stop by if you&#8217;re anywhere in the area. When we&#8217;re done at the real estate office I&#8217;ll open up my studio (which is right around the corner) and we can hang out.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks, and love to see you there &#8212;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Planet Waves\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.planetwavesweekly.com\/resources\/images\/sign_white.jpg?resize=185%2C45&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Eric Francis\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"185\" height=\"45\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friends, Readers in the New York Area: This is an invitation to the first public exhibition of my photos.
