Jean-François Céas is an amateur photographer of the Briançonnais.  He presents 50 photographs offering an original vision of the forts of Briancon.  After 35 years without ever having exhibited his work, he agreed to this dedication.  In 2006 he was the winner of the “Folio Review & Gallery”, selected by the Farmani Gallery in Los Angeles, during the annual world demonstration of photography “Rencontres Internationales”, the photography of Arles.  At his gallery in California Hossein Farman has the largest collection of contemporary photos.   He exhibited part of his collection at Arles in 2005 and he owns hitherto unseen photos of Marilyn Monroe.  Jeff Céas exhibited two black and white 50 x 60 cm photos in Farman’s gallery in September 2006 called “Trees” of which one is famously called “The Tree in Front of the Ramparts of Vauban”.   In the November 2006 edition of the magazine “Images”, a full page was dedicated to him.
