The Rencontres ('meetings') are the biggest gathering of fine art photographers in the world, in a stunningly photogenic city. Who else from RFF is going to be there? The opening week begins on July 4th, so I've booked at my usual hotel from Sunday 3rd (to be there from Day 1) to Sunday 10th.

Anyone who doesn't know about the Rencontres and who's not read the reviews of the last 3 years can find them on my site:

2009 http://www.rogerandfrances.com/subscription/arles 2009.html

2010 http://www.rogerandfrances.com/subscription/arles 2010.html

Cheers,

R.

Dear Roger,

I'd sure like to go, but: grmpf. Still three weeks away from summer holidays then, so that's a no-go. :(

Would have liked to meet, maybe some other time...?
 
Hi,
I live in Arles, so it will be a pleasure to meet some of you… if I'm at home at the start of july.
In fact I can't know now, because I'm musician and I might have to go away for my job.
So the best is to send me private messages few days before.
 
Just thought I'd bump this. It's less than 4 months away. If I remember I'll bump it in April, May and June as well.

Cheers,

R.
 
I've just looked at Arles 2010 and want to thank you for posting it. I would love to do the 2012 one-ambitious for me but I'd like to think I can. I went to Arles as a young man but not when the festival was on. Your post has inspired this Aussie.
 
"I see that there will be several members of RFF on site, great!"

… and now in French, you should get used :

"Je vois qu'il va y avoir plusieurs membres du RFF sur place, tant mieux!"
:cool:

Bien sur, mais c'est toujours plus facile parler (en effet, sans grammaire, et sans orthographie) qu'écrire... Aussi les claviers entrangers n'ont toujours suffisament des accents.

Amitiés,

R.
 
Its possible I will be able to go, but I have said that for two years now....

I will try again, but depends on work, as always.

Quick reply as I'm about to go offline: this is excellent to know! I'd love to go, but I'm not sure w/costs, etc. I'm actually on planning a cousin of mine who is in Arles this Spring; I'll probably go there in a couple of weeks. Is there a good place to stay there for pas trop chere?
 
I went to the 2010 edition and stayed on a campsite. No problems with the site and it was within walking distance of everywhere. And of course, said hallo to Roger and Frances, and several other RFF'rs, and lots of other photographers, organisers etc etc.

Highly recommended for the photography and the informal-yet-effective mini-expos everywhere, plus the informal-and-bizarre ones too, and the very pleasant environment of the town and surroundings.
 
When to the hotels start getting booked out, Roger?

I might not know whether I can come for a little while...
