The Homer Watson House & Gallery is homestead of Homer Watson, Canada's first noted landscape artist (1855-1936). The Gallery, constructed in 1906, is one of the oldest operating galleries in the Province of Ontario. Watson's early Victorian house was also the home of the renowned Doon School of Fine Arts during the 1950's and 60's and drew such artists as Fred Varley and Carl Schaefer.

Well-attended & graced by both a Federal MP AND local City Councilor, the 19th Annual Homer Watson Exhbition is now underway for the summer ... To see further examples of my pinhole works, please look at February & March 2008 posts on this blog ... and/or click on 'pinhole photography' in the sidebar ...

There is a great review by Robert Reid of the entire exhibit featured in The Kitchener Record - click here.

Excerpt follows: "... 'Slooow Photography ... A Pinholer's Passion' consists of 22 photographs taken with various handmade pinhole cameras constructed from a small cardboard box and an assortment of product tins - pretzel, tea, coffee & shortbread. ... At a time when photography has been hijacked by computer and digital technology, Holton reminds us that, at its most basic, photography is a contemplative art form that relies on the source and sustainer of life -- the Sun."
