We had around 60-70 people who attended the inauguration on the 22nd October - the Chief Guest is a very good friend of mine, N.Srinivasan, who, in addition to running one of India's largest cement companies, is the unquestioned boss of cricket worldwide as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council. A fair amount of visitors also kept coming in till it closed yesterday, and I managed to sell 27 prints - all proceeds going to a charitable trust working for and supporting the hearing handicapped. The most gratifying feature for me was that 5 of these prints were purchased by leading artists from the city. In total there were 54 prints, mainly A2 sized and a few panoramas of 12"x36", all printed by me on my trusty Epson 3885, either on Hahnemuhle Bamboo or Harmon Gloss Baryta paper for the A2 prints, and Red River Ultrapro Satin paper for the panoramas. I have now put up a folder containing the photographs exhibited, in the order they were put up, as well as a copy of the e-invite, a view of the gallery and a shot of NS inaugurating the exhibition: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/AfricaShow/ Please see LARGE Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome Cheers Jayanand
