So I am off to London tomorrow for a mooch around the galleries, make a few images and generally have a good time. Originally it was planned to be a training day with the RPS at Kew Gardens. However, this was cancelled and as the train tickets were non refundable I could either take a hit on the train fare or have a day in London. Needless to say I choose the latter.
So what is the plan of action? Well two exhibitions I am definitely going to see are:
The MA Photojournalist show at the University of Westminster;
The second is going to be a real pleasure. Nick Brandt's new exhibition of east African wildlife at the Atlas Gallery. I have been a huge fan of Brandt's work for a while now. He produces sublime wildlife photographs that are master pieces. If ever get the chance to see his work you will know what I mean (click on the link to the Atlas gallery and you will get a wonderful taste of Brandt's work).
After this I intend to go over the National Gallery and spend some time working on my research project about wildlife photography. Now it might seem strange to go to a gallery full of paintings when I am interested in researching a photographic topic. I am interested in seeing how fauna was depicted before the advent of photography. I spent some time doing this at Wolverhampton art gallery last week and the results were fascinating.
After this? Well I hope to get down to Tate Modern. I have never been there and it is somewhere I have really wanted to visit.
Well that seems like a plan. I can guarantee I won't stick to it.
