Like a gang of three proud Mums, we Blunt ladies set off on Thursday evening for the private view of the London Festival Of Photography "The Great British Public". Our photographer Arnhel has a series of his wonderful work in the exhibit, so we went along to represent our boy, who's currently busy snapping away in China.
It's a lovely exhibition, and apart from Arnhel's beautifully observed work, chronicling the events taking place at Britain's summer country fairs and fetes over the last few years, I was particularly taken with a series of work entitled "Centenarians" by Chris Steele-Perkins. Simple portraits of his elderly subjects were offset by a written piece accompanying each image. The spriteliness and humour in the mindset of each captured in prose belied the age they had actually attained. A couple of these lovely characters didn't look much over 70 either. Gives you hope for the future, and I found my spirits lifted by it.
There are various exhibitions dotted all over the King's Cross area - an exhibition in both King's Cross and St Pancras stations too. Have a look here - it's definitely worth a nosy:
