OK, I’ve been quiet of late on account of having been very busy exhibiting in London and now in Ipswich. I have curated and organised most shows and exhibitions I have taken part in and my background dictates that things need to be planned to the nth degree and being prepared for just about anything […]
MEUS a fringe event
We are very lucky here in the East of England in that we have a biennial photo festival that is in its infancy. It began in 2016 and our local group of contemporary photographers ran a show to coincide it. That was our Contradictions show based on the docklands of the River Orwell. This year […]
Closed on a Tuesday FFS
I had to go up to town on Tuesday for a business meeting that concluded at lunchtime. I knew I had to write stuff up but the sun was shining, it was bitterly cold but London was shimmering like a necklace of precious jewels. Ah ha methinks, next meeting at the RSA off the Strand […]
Of things past
I took a day off yesterday and went up to town to take in a few photography exhibitions. I’ve been in town a lot of late but working between 0830-1730 means that there is no opportunity to take in the offerings, so it was back in on a cheap ticket and what a bargain that […]
Gallery romping
I had to go up to town earlier this week so I took the opportunity to look in a few galleries; Photographer’s Gallery – but by the time I got there I’d just missed the the last show until March by 12 hours Beetles & Huxley for Joel Sternfield GX Gallery for Nicolas Laborie’s collodian […]
Where did October go?
I knew October was going to be a very busy month but I was under-prepared for the eventual outcomes of the month. Being ultra busy with three exhibtions kicking off in the month and Mrs O’s 60th there was little time for much else. Admittedly I’ve got a few technical problems on top of the […]
East London Photomonth
It is all kicking off over here in London. The annual Autumn photofest has started in East London. A lecturer from University of Suffolk – Paola Leonardi – has opened her show at Leytonstone. By chance I bumped into her last week as I was heading into London for the Agile Business Conference. I’m back […]
Photoeast draws to a close
June has been manic in terms of photography exhibitions. The late May Bank Holiday Weekend saw the launch of Photoeast and the exhibition I was involved in – CONTRADICTIONS, plus the degree shows of Anywhere & Everywhere from UCS, at UCS and in Hoxton. The three of us involved in CONTRADICTIONS were rostered to attend […]
Anywhere and Everywhere and the re-emergence of prostitutes on the street
Yesterday afternoon and evening was exceedingly long. I was due to attend the Rooftop Collective at Metro Imaging so I went up early to check out Anywhere and Everywhere – the UCS BA(Hons) Photography Lolondon variant of their degree show. As with last year’s group they used Hoxton Arches, in Hoxton of all places. Such […]
CONTRADICTIONS OV – What a week
Feast and famine! Everything around East Anglia for the last week has been all about photography. The RPS East Anglia Contemporary Group opened their show at Thornham the morning after the PV for PhotoEast. Earlier in the week the graduates from UCS BA(Hons) Photography had their show – also part of PhotoEast but I had […]
