Meredith Mullins: Paris and Beyond

Planning a photography exhibit is always a soul-searching endeavor. A walk through photographic past and present (and even flash forwards into the future as the next series begins to take root).
It has been fun to plan "Paris and Beyond" with my friend Richard Nahem (of this very blog!). We have both been settled in Paris for eight years, and we both live to explore . . . and see things that have not been seen before. The exhibit opens on September 25 at Le Galerie 102.
Our styles are very different, which will make the exhibit all the more interesting. For my part, I have selected my Paris favorites, including moments of rare snow, street stories, and those once-in-a lifetime captures that confirm that luck is a huge part of photographic success (as well as the patience to wait for the elements to align).
And, then, we go "beyond." My "beyond" ventures to Budapest, Istanbul, and Central Asia. I'm also showing my hand-colored work from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kashgar—lands that I remember so vividly but that, sadly, change every day with the turmoil of the world.
Richard and I look forward to sharing our images with Paris friends and visitors. Join us!
Le Galerie 102 is at 102 rue Cherche Midi. The vernissage is Thursday evening, September 25 from 7-9 pm. Metros: Duroc or Vaneau. Gallery hours are noon to 7 pm every day until October 2.
