Odd One
How We Are
The How We Are show at the Tate has a flickr tie-in where users are supposed to have their pictures displaying as part of the exhibit (over 5,000 pictures in the group currently). Unfortunately all four screens were showing either crashed Windows or a spinning slideshow wheel with no pictures (how hard can it be?). The rest of the show is well worth seeing (room guide) although I have to admit that I found the best part of the last room was the ability to pull up my own flickr account and run it on a computer that was working.
In other news, my daughter Max is just finishing her degree and has put her final piece, a Knitimation Video, online. Go watch it.
Street Photography Workshop
I’m leading a Street Photography Workshop at Photofusion which runs on two Saturdays in July (7th and 21st) with time in-between for practice. Among the plus points is that it’s a small group of participants. There are more details on the Photofusion site and it’s half-full already so if you’re interested but have questions, feel free to contact me. Update: another has been scheduled. Update 2: I’m planning to run it again in the summer.
London Art Galleries
I originally started my page of links to London art gallery web sites because a lot of them were very hard to find via google. However, it has since become very popular so I’ve tidied it up a bit and added a featured gallery spot at the top with the vague plan of making vast amounts of advertising revenue [Update: I've given the page its own domain]. I never set out to be a listings guy but hey, if it means I can take more pictures we can’t complain. This picture was taken after a wander around the insides of Battersea Power Station. More art.
A Proper Job
Having just completed a rare 5-day week of teaching I’m once again wondering how people manage to do that 9 to 5 thing on a regular basis. World of Work. It’s odd.
The Guardian web site has a slideshow of 11 pictures from the Onto the Streets show so you can try to spot my picture.
Onto the Streets Again
As promised in a previous post, I’ve made a gallery of the five photos that are in the forthcoming Photofusion show. You can see them here, with dates and links to the other photographers.
Landscape Ongoing
5DWII – day four. A sluggish start and then a walk around King’s Cross which hadn’t changed as much as I’d expected – as far as I could tell. We finished the day with a LIP talk by Geoff Dyer on his book, The Ongoing Moment.

A partial, idiosynchratic history of photograpy.
