Sat, Emma, Eddie, art, drinks
Sat seems to be my only day off at the moment so has becoming fairly precious. Not much photography but working hard on a project at work and been in every Sunday for at least six or so weeks so I’m trying tomake sure I actually do something rather than just sleep or look at the internet. Hopefully its all over now (after Thursday night) and I can start to get my life back a bit.
So we went into town to quickly grab a look at the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait gallery. I’m still amazed that it’s another ginger girl with ginger animal. It’s getting beyond a cliche now. At least there weren’t any massive vaginas to stand in front of this year. It was set in a tiny gallery and rammed with people which made the whole experience pretty grim. Maybe I’ll go back during the week sometime. I really liked a couple of the shots but I was pretty disappointed with some of them. I guess I’m not a photography critic though.
After that we headed out to the Royal Academy with the aim of seeing the Russian Constructivist exhibition – again too many people with a massive queue. So we had a look at the Tatlin’s Tower in the courtyard and then went to the ICA for a couple of drinks. Good chats with Ed and Emma and then home. All good.
