*What?
Each December, the Bakery Photographic Collective hosts its annual fundraiser, Photo-A-Go-Go. One of Southern Maine’s most anticipated events, Photo-A-Go-Go is a silent auction featuring works from established and emerging photographers at incredible prices. Members, interns and photographers from all over the country donate framed photographic prints that are displayed for viewing and sold via the silent auction. Arguably the largest photo exhibition in the state of Maine, the fundraiser has continued to be a huge success and has allowed the collective to thrive and provide a reliable photographic resource to its members, interns and the Southern Maine photographic community.

Originally,
Jean-Pierre has been inspired by landscapes, villages, farms and old
stone churches of France. Later, he created an art books collection
about this heritage, which embodies the charm of France. He was hired
by the French Ministry of Culture to create a digital photo stock of
all the local art heritage museums in Southern France.
In Maine,
he found that people have the same passion for their roots, history,
traditional buildings and tools from their Fathers.
He strongly
believes that this work or preservation and recollection is essential
to keep the Soul of a country alive, especially in times of world
globalization.
