Photographic Exhibit: Alethia- to tell the truth

Nick Anest was born in Midland in 1929 to Greek immigrant parents who ran The Midland Candy Works.  The people of Midland knew Nick Anest as the proprietor of “Uptown Billiards”.

On June 17th we will celebrate Nick Anest, the amateur photographer, who recorded life in his hometown.  Nick’s photographs captured Midland in an historical and artistic light.  They captured the simple joys of the adults and children who lived in the town.  We hope that this exhibit will be seen as a celebration of pride in our town and of Canadian multiculturalism.

Photographic exhibit opens Friday, June 17, 2011 at 7:00 pm and runs until Monday, June 27, 2011.

Huronia photo pools on flickr

Huronia photo pool on flickr — I set this up about 9 months ago and it has several members and about 400 photographs. Subject matter is varied: landscape, townscape, events, historic sites, and all kinds of other stuff.

Today I have set up a pool for photos of Historic Huronia on flickr, see: Historic Huronia photo pool. Feel free to join flickr and the pool and post photos.

As I understand it, if you have a rogers.com email account, you automatically have a pro level flickr account (unlimited posting and some other privileges). Non-pro accounts have a 100 photo limit. I think I have those details correct, but check the flickr site to be sure.

I like flickr and have found some very interesting pools. One is Canadian History.
