"This exposition of Du monde de par Che Nous   is an impeccable body of work from the Groupe SocioFoto. It encompasses not only the heritage of their town but reflects the heartbeat of the village. In a fraction of a second, the glimpses of people are made –– however the memories, friendships and images made over the course of the year will last forever.

The overpowering sense of community and true sense of the simple fabric of the village are revealed through their many hours of photography.  Taking the time to read the stories and absorb the images is a moving experience. Not only do they illustrate one small village in New Brunswick, but reverberate the lives and the feel of many communities around the world."

"On tour with Don Martel we took a small detour to view an exhibit of students of his in the village of Grand-Barachois by the Groupe SocioFoto "Du monde de par che nous". The exhibit a collection of life and portraits is one of the most amazing and prolific collections I have seen in sometime, the thought , the quality and energy by this group of photographers was truly inspiring."
