If you look on the right hand side of this page you’ll see why we started this blog and letting you know about events like this is exactly what we’re here for.

Thumbnail image for You’d be mad too miss the Positive View exhibition at Somerset House March 7, 2010

It’s a must, it’s a must,
it’s a must see.
It doesn’t even matter
If you don’t like photography.
–
What is it about a photographer’s shot?
More impact than a bullet
Sharper than a knife
And for a moment it changes your view of life.
–
The photographer’s image
Seeps into your conscious without a word
You’re left standing there
Alone, with them, completely absorbed.

Sometimes I feel sorry for us Londoners
Because we miss the best of what London has
Secret exhibitions
Music in splendid surroundings that we never hear.
–
Monet, Monet we’ve all heard of your name
And now they’re holding a secret exhibition of you
That truly does justice to your fame, yet hardly anyone knows.

This Monet exhibition is a must see that [...]

Some pictures tell a story that everyone can understand

December 6, 2009

Back in August I went to see the Press Photographers’s Year 09 exhibition and was completely blown away.

Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is a must visit event this Christmas

November 22, 2009

If you’ve never been before it’s like a giant Christmas playground with a massive big wheel, ice rink and loads of rides for kids and adults. There’s [...]
