Photographer has exhibit
BY JASON AINSLIE
Brian Cere of St. Helens is an artist. Like
a painter, he has the -oft -sought ability to
create with his hands what the mind clear-
ly sees. His is the humble gift of sharing
with others what he sees so vividly, yet
what is so familiar. He is a photographer.
Thissummer, his work is on exhibition
at the Blyth'Centre for the Arts. The best of
his chest full of landscape, portrait and
human interest photographs are located on
the second floor of the Blyth Centre, until
the endof the month.
Not an impulsive , photographer nor a '
composing photographer, Brian .Cere likes
to think of himself as a blend 'Of those ex-
tremes.
xtremes.
"Something lovely will capture my im-
agination, but sometimes I see something
lovely and realize there's no (outstanding)
picture there."
He is turning professional now. Soon
after he became really interested in
photography about 1971, he was recognized
as a top journalist within the Canadian_
University Press system. It was for work
he did on the university newspaper while
studying for . an economics degree in
Waterloo.
"I was always interested in visual things
- pictures and paintings," he said. And
although his photography is a sensitive
vocation that transcends wealth and .
recognition, "I am interested in being a
really good photographer."
For Cere, that means being able to
visualize the finished photo in his mind
while looking through the lens; and one
could say he feels that way about many
things in his life.
Happiness and personal expression are
priorities for this father of three and
although he has had an exhibition in Kit-
chener at one time, he has neither the in-
clination nor time to get involved with
many photography shows: "I'm not an ex-
trovert by any means".
Like his mentor, French photographer
Cartier Bresson, Cere regards the moment
as the essence of the art. What Bresson
called "decisive timing" is what separates
the good photographs from the ordinary.
,Indeed, if the proper image isn't on the
film, there can't be a good picture.
Similarly, when Brian Cere has a good
negative (exposed film), he follows it
through the darkrom stage on to the print
paper.
"There's nothing magic in printing. I've
spent many hours in the darkroom. It's a
source of peace and relaxation." -
Throughout the house, the walls are
adorned with quiet, but vivacious shots of
red, wooded lagoons, or of pensive old men
and children, or of leaders among people.
But many of his best photographs are
hanging in the Blyth Centre now.
Early in. 1981, Brian- and his wife con-
tacted the arts board at the Festival Cen-
tre, and the two board members who came
to his hot>e were excited by what they
saw: "The people at Blyth liliedmy •work.
I gotstronger feedback than I expected".
Now in his early thirties, there's no way
to go but up.
"I enjoy photography more as time goes
on. I 'look at things differently now. I
realize' how much ' I've matured as the
years went by." •
• Cere . takes the 'I years to come in his
stride, looking enough into the future to
satisfy his curiosity yet not too much , to
thwart his sense of surprise when he gets
'there. •
Asked what he thinks lies ahead of him
in photography, he answers, "Nothing
cliche, of course, but more like studies of
life bumbling along:..."

' kook for them next week.

top spot; second went to
Marj Smith and Bob Demp-
sey; followed by Velma
Haylow and Dave McAdam;
Dorothy. Bogie and Stan
Telford. The next Two -Ball .
will be on September 7th.
Although we don't like to
see our golf season come to
an end, when we start think-
ing about our annual, closing
party its hard not to think
about the end of golf for most
of us for another season.
Anyway the closing party is
September 26th, so jot it
down on the calendar so
you'll leave it open - and in
the meantime, let's hope it
stays good golfing weather
until at least that time.
Also remember fellows, on
Sunday, August 30th, there
will be the Men's Field Day
with brunch to follow.
