A very long exhibition

A great day out in Sète seeing some of the exhibitions which make up its festival of photojournalism - images singulières. Sète is a working, rather than tourist, town, the biggest French fishing port on the Mediterranean coast, a ferry port with departures to North Africa and a commercial port, and the exhibitions are dotted around the town in once working buildings - a school, the train station, wine warehouses, the foyer of a theatre..... It's impossible to see all of it in one day, but I enjoyed this one by Ricky Dávila of portraits and landscapes taken throughout Spain and exhibited in an old wine cave and warehouse. Among the others, Tendance Floue, a photography cooperative, had obviously had a lot of fun with their Mad in Sète and it was fun to look at too, and George Georgiou's Fault Lines, photos of urban development in rural Turkey, were stunning and thought-provoking.

Edit: I left out mention of Dorothea Lange's wonderful, sympathetic, poignant Migrant Farmers and Migrant Mothers photos, taken in the USA during the Depression of the 1930s - many images I'd seen before but to see them all together was an interesting and emotional experience. Some of them can be see online here.
