Historic Bloch photography

This year Com&Com decided to visit the original custom in Urnäsch, where everything began eight years ago. We brought the talented photo artist Ueli Alder with us who took some pictures of us with the Bloch Society with his old 5x7inch black and white plate camera. We are happy to present a first preview:

Bloch is going to Chile!

Good news: Bloch is soon back on the road (or better: boat). Next destination: CHILE.
We got invited to be part of the Festival de arte contemporaneo SACO8 in Antofagasta/Chile this Summer.
Currently Bloch is prepared by Roger Gentinetta and his son for the shipping to South America. Bloch was stored almost a year in Rawsonville outside  Cape Town with the Le Roux-Family. – Thank you all for taking good care of our Bloch!
– Chile, estamos aquí pronto!
