A day of photographic exhibitions. almost

There have been a few photographic exhibitions I've been wanting to visit but haven't had the time to, so I thought as Katy had a maths assignment due soon that I would give her a bit of peace and quiet and get out and see them. First up was a trip to Fabrika for the Leicester College year two FD Photography and Video students, which was as much of a scouting trip as it was to see the work produced. The exhibition was very interesting, some really good work on show but it gave me lots of ideas of how I'm going to display my work next year!

Next up was a show which I didn't think I was going to get to, Keith Coopers, 'Leicester from a different angle' which was due to finish on the 31st of May but due to the popularity of the show it has been extended to the 11th of June. Unfortunately though, the Leicester People's Photographic Gallery decided today was a good day to close early so when I rocked up an hour before the place should have closed it was already locked up!

On wards I went to my last show of the day, Paul O'Leary's show at the LCB sadly though the gallery space is closed on a Saturday!

I'm going to check when the galleries are open again but with two bank holidays, two days in Northampton, a photo shoot in Herefordshire and the Wychwood Festival at the weekend it's unlikely I'll manage it next week.

For tonight it's time to enjoy a couple of Tyskie and a little bit of gaming! Oh and my web hosting transfer is moving along nicely just need to wait for my old host to update the IPS tags and the domain will be transfered.

  1. I went to all three of them exhibitions on the 31st, when all three were open with a group from our class. Shame you couldn't have tagged along...

    Some interesting work, especially at Fabrika, (some of them anyway) and yeah it was interesting how they incorporated bits of video on a screen next to their work with the photos, was a nice touch I thought.

    Nice new, fresh looking blog. Looking good.

    P.s I have posed a few things on my blog recently http://davidbaylissphotography.blogspot.co.uk/
