OPENING NIGHT

Here are some of the photo's from the Student street photography awards opening night. We had a pretty decent turnout, some great responses to the work, prints looked ok ( had 10 but had to drop 2 because of pretty rank casts) and the free cocktails were strong and good. I guess the overall winner gets announced end of next week, the main prize was being part of this show though. Met some great people and I hope the festival becomes an annual event, it definitely deserves it although it's going to be hard to top Maier...

LONDON STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL OPENING NIGHT

I got invited down to the opening of the London Street Photography Festival the other week, so me and Holly, aka plus one, went down to check it out last night. Starting off at the British Library, we went to see Walter Joseph's unseen photographs of British markets, then onto Minnie Weisz studio for Polly Braden's and David Campany's joint show documenting life on the River Lea and the imminent, but mostly unwanted, arrival of the 2012 Olympic Games. After some pretty sound free cocktails we made our way over to St. Pancras to see Nick Turpin's and Nils Jorgensen's show, always a pleasure, then onto the climax of the evening..... the first UK exhibition of Vivian Maier's incredible unseen photographs and the finalists of the International award.
 Held in the impressive German Gymnasium, it really was a spectacular show. Apart from the lack of lighting and the annoyance of highly reflective glass, the work displayed was a fascinating collection. As much as I would have liked to have seen more, the number of photographs worked well within the space, and the added quirks of the light boxes and possessions of Maier was a real treat. It was a real honour to be there, I hope our show goes just as well next week!
