Note:  The Eventbrite link for free tickets will only be sent via our MailChimp notice to our existing members.

In the afternoon, a private visit of the museum is possible at 3pm, then the conference will start at 7pm.  No dining arrangement is provided.  The live conference will be presented to all club members at the same time via the usual access.

All the prints are for sale at the museum and the money raised will be given to a Charity event (Sainte-Croix/Heriot Foundation).

​Lamich Presentation at the National
Photography Museum Desjardins


 In a time of uncertainty, most people that succeed at reaching any goal or part of it, are the ones that plan ahead and can somehow, somewhat, see into the future or at least prepare for it. When Premier Legault closed schools and parts of normal human activity for a two week period, on March 13th, I said to myself, let’s relax, take it easy and enjoy a few great movies in the comfort of my living room. And then the closing was indefinite. And then the festivals that have hired me for the last 18 years were cancelled. That was a very big and odd OOPS to deal with! I had a very hard time accepting the fact that I had to stay home and that ‘not doing anything’ was the right thing to do. I then started to think of the WHAT IF variable.
 
My long-time friend and partner Patrick Baby was acquainted with some medical doctors and surgeons at the Drummondville Hospital so we decided to put together a project that would replace some of the fund raising activities that the Sainte-Croix/Heriot Foundation was prevented to do because of the lockdown.
 
The crazy idea took three weeks to put together. We took a big breath, sent it fingers crossed and eyes closed.
 
You are now watching at the results of a 2000 hours odyssey that includes a ten thousand kilometer road trip in the Center of Québec region, which we affectionately renamed Heart of Québec.
 
We are now turning a photo project into a community health financial support.
 
All my photography experience was put into this project and I even had the privilege to learn a thing or two…

A bit on Lamich’s story...
 
Born in the wine region of Buin, just south of the Chilean capital of Santiago, Victor Diaz Lamich saw his peaceful childhood abruptly interrupted by the coup d’État of 1973. His exile began. His family moved to Quebec, Victor became a Quebecer.
 
But it is not until 1994, when he rediscovers his native land, "this new post-dictatorship Chile", when he reconnects with his origins and his culture, that he finally understands the singularity of his itinerary. From then on, traveling becomes his life. His work in environmental chemistry takes him throughout South America, focusing his efforts on major ecological issues. Everywhere a camera in hand, soon, photography becomes his sole passion.
 
His professional career took off when he became the official photographer at renowned cultural magazine “Voir/Hour in Montréal”. He then developed collaborations with several magazines such as the Rolling Stone, the Canadian Press agency and the Huffington Post Quebec. He finally earned the prestigious title of “official photographer” at Montreal’s International Jazz Festival, Francofolies de Montréal and Montreal Highlights, to which he would have celebrated his 18th participation this year.
 
Victor Diaz Lamich worked on the development of a large format photo exhibition, in collaboration with the ‘Nevados de Chillan’ hotel complex in the Andes mountain range (Winner of the Best Ski Resort in the World in 2017, 18, 19). He is now involved in the production of a series of artistic photographs printed on aluminum, which will be exhibited at the “Musée National de la Photographie Desjardins” in Drummondville. These works of art will be sold to profit the “Sainte-Croix/Heriot Foundation”.
