I called into the Photographica event yesterday before going to see the Mary Ellen Mark photographs
at Somerset House as part of the Sony World Photography Awards.
I did not buy anything at Photographica, but did lust after a Nikon S3 Olympic (black)
on the Peter Loy stand which is far too expensive for me.
The Sony Awards photos were very good, as you would expect, but there were too many pristine HDR images. Thank goodness for the Mary Ellen Mark exhibition room.

My shutter release has not had very much exercise so far this year, so we went for a walk

footpaths, but this feeding swan was the only photograph from the day.

When I went to see the Salgado Genesis exhibition at the Natural History Museum a few months ago it occurred to me that I had not been there for many years.
I called in earlier in the week when I was supposed to be Christmas shopping.
I strolled along the elevated walkway in the Dinosaur display when there was a sudden noise from behind.
A school party had just arrived and some of the boys were heading straight to the big display, nothing was going to stop them.
They were polite enough, but Teachers - rather you than me .

Programme seller at the Natural History Museum, London.
He had kept the queue entertained with his strong Welsh accent as we waited for the doors to open. He was still working hard a couple of hours later when we left, but the voice was struggling a bit.
We had been to see the Salgado Genesis exhibition, which was splendid.
