I have photos to find, where are my photos of the party at Atelier 17 where both the upstairs and the downstairs were flooded with people!.,

my photos exist, I simply have to find them. I am so happy that I have them as they tell stories for each and everyone of us that attended this amazing evening - a gathering of course with Bill Hayter, Juam his assistant, The other assistant I believe from Thailand was it!? I did not know him well, I better knew Hector Saunier and Juan the other two of the three assustants to Bill Hayter. I will find tge pictures and write more about them and those that attended. For one thing for sure I know tgat Marianne Aublet was there. she made quite the impression at least on me. Also I know that Bill's Irish wife was there. I saw her talking to the assistant who's name I cannot recall sadly! Hopefully it will come to meSo was Cristina Piceda talking to Juan.
And Mansour Ibrahim from Malaysia snd Bernie from Irrland.
In the photos below taken at Madame Paulette's bistro / cafe / tabac - I do not remember the actual name for it - Hector Saunier is in the left next to Hideko Seki standing my him . Also pictured are Amemi Noguchi and his wife kneeling below by Hector, and Bernie from Ireland on the right ,nseated with Akemi to her left seated, ... really fun times!
Great times, what a spectacle, what a level of sound, reverie, movement, animation, warmth and energy this evening on these two floors held within it walls, up and down, on the staircase as well, no space not filled, students like myself talking animatedly, the excitement teverberated, it bounced off each word, expression, whisper, movement, gesture, punctuation, the rise or the fall of voices, the intensity, tge proximity, the physical tension, romance, prance, dance, that piercing of the eyes, narrowing of the eyes, the prowl in slow motion, in quick actions, the ambiguity, the absolute resolve and leaving no doubt about the intention, the airs, the spells, the fashion, the connections or total space-out, disconnection, the wine, food, drugs, pills, maryuana, the natural highs, the reclusive retreats, the " being there " with care or without a care! safety, the dres and the flairs, being sedate or verbose and totally visible!? This was all part of the evening. Sizing one another up and making our place and space, or being moved about so that others could!? We had a good time. I took pictures, now where are they!?!?
