Throughout July 2015 photographer George Watson will exhibit his works in the Wotiz Gallery on the first floor of the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue.  Admission is free to the public.

Mr. Watson first used a camera in 1938 and his work has prospered many years, as he now creates enhanced digital images in Photoshop.  This display will show both black and white and color prints, and will include a variety of topics and settings such as pictorial, panoramic and portrait images. The artist joined the Photographic Society of America (PSA) and the Boston and South Shore Camera Clubs in 1965, and has exhibited in PSA-sponsored salons in the U.S. and 29 foreign countries.  He has achieved PSA star ratings in nature and photo-travel slides and color print divisions, and Galaxy rating in color slides.  In 1967, George Watson was among the top 25 exhibitors of color slides in the world.  Please come and enjoy this lovely exhibit during July.”

A free movie, The Hundred Foot Journey, starring Helen Mirren, will be shown on Tuesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the Keys Community Room, lower level of the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue, Milton, MA 02186.  This event is free to the public and sponsored by The Friends of the Milton Public Library.

This entertaining movie stars Academy award winner Helen Mirren, is produced  by Steve Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey and Juliet Blake, and it is directed by Lasse Hallstrom.  It tells the uplifting story of the chilly chef proprietress of a Michelin-starred French restaurant in southern France who gets wind of a culinary immigrant opening an Indian restaurant just 100 feet from her own.  Mirren’s icy protests escalate to all-out war between the two establishments.  It bursts with flavor, passion and heart, and is a celebration of triumph over exile as these two worlds collide and one young man tries to find the comfort of home in every pot – wherever he may be.   Please join us for a great evening of cinema.  The running time is approximately 122 minutes and this is something for the whole family to enjoy. The movie is rated PG for thematic elements, including some violence, language and brief sensuality.
