The show was well received and I was honoured that the local press compared me to Robert Doissneau, a great compliment. My shots were all on film, digital was not around I think, certainly I wasn't using it! Certainly an area always worth a visit. One of my memories is staying in a really cheap hotel just off the main square in Chalon(?). there was a woman staying there who brought a large potted plant down to breakfast every morning and talked to it. We also saw her shopping with the plant. I also remember the 'patron' sat behind the desk in a sleeveless vest and with braces for his trousers. He looked as though he had not bathed for months, but the run down hotel was spotless (thanks to his wife!) Memories!
