A Highlight: my first ever photography show in Marseilles, as a part of the the Mondial la Marseillaise à Pétanque tournament.
This show was sponsored by the Caisse d’Epargne Provence-Alpes-Corse, Obut and the Mondial la Marseillaise à Pétanque, and was held at the very luminous and airy l’Espace Ecureuil (Yes, that DOES mean "squirrel") in the center of town right near the old Port.

What is this event?
It is a HUGE tournament lasting several days, which takes place at first in the leafy green and sun-baking white-hot Parc Borély every year, and ends with a magnificent final at the old port.

Thousands of teams enter to play, from the world's greatest players to vacationing families. Only one team wins, and the whole event is single elimination. There are Mens, Womens and Childrens categories, and the whole mad event is remarkably well organized.
I started taking pictures here 10 years ago. This exhibit was a selection from those years, a survey, and features the famous and the unknown, the Parc and the Vieux Port....

I am very proud of how the prints turned out- They were printed on large scale MOAB cotton paper, which absorbs the ink beautifully and has a lovely velvet finish. I am considering making a book of these pictures....

Loved the photos. Great shots and interesting people. You should make a book.
Martha - I look forward to your book (hint, hint -- please do one!). Great variety in these photos -- men women, children, color, B&W. Congratulations.
Love, Barbara
Thanks!the pictures look really different printed, I feel like a lot of detail is lost online- they look small and dark....
