Local photographers Robert
Blake and Alex Waterhouse-
Hayward have just opened a very
unique exhibition of their works,
in an equally unusual spot.

It’s the Photographer's Gallery,
hidden away around the corner off
Hornby, in the Hong Kong Bank
Building, the tall brick building
with the distinctive ‘“‘bow-tie’’ in-
signia perched atop its roof.

It's Robert’s first exhibition work
in color and Alex has discovered
that women look great in water.
He's showing 16 different women
posin in — bathtubs!

before you think it’s some
son vot liquid peepshow, let_ me
assure you that it’s not. In fact,
one of the 16 models was Alex's
daughter and hers was the first
picture to sell!

One of the other art works is en-
titled “Mother and Child,’’ and it
features Colleen Louise Hughes of
North Van and her five-month-old
son Mitchell Chase Hughes. This
exhibition will be on display at the
gallery for another month...
