Greenwich Satellite Group will be held on a Wednesday for one month only.

The moment of The First Greenwich Annuale has (more-or-less) arrived. For a brief but perfectly-judged moment in August the Viewfinder will be given over to the work of (at the final count) thirty-four of our group. The opening bash is on the evening of Wednesday 20th. August from 6.30pm until 8.30pm & it would be just fine & dandy if you can make it along to the viewing.

So … our regular monthly meetup has moved from the Tuesday (hanging day) to the Wednesday for just this month. If it’s been some time since we’ve seen you in Greenwich it would be great to have you along along so we can reacquaint. If you’re a complete stranger to us then remain so no longer.

At a loose end? There’ll be masses of special people around, fine photography, a stunning sunset, just-cut fashions, individually-wrapped crisps.

Directions to the Viewfinder can be found here

Hope you find the time to be with us.

The website addition for the LIP 20th Annual exhibition is now up and running with FAQ’s, applications forms and details of the selectors etc. This year’s exhibition is a very special one as it is takes place in the 21st year of LIP’s existence. In recognition of this we will be also producing a book containing a selection of prints from all the successful exhibitors. We are also very fortunate to have some very distinguished selectors namely Paul Hill MBE (Professor at De Montfort University, Leicester), and Clare Grafik (Curator - Photographers Gallery).

The submission deadlines are at the end of August (6 weeks at time of writing).

For all information including entry deadlines, application forms, FAQ and an introduction to the selectors click here

As ever if you do have any questions around mounting,framing, printing, deadlines etc please feel free to contact either of us directly via phone or email.

The next meeting of the Harrow LIP group will take place on Tuesday 15th July starting around 7:00PM. The location is 29 Sharps Lane, Ruislip HA4 7JG.

We hope to have a lively and broad ranging chat including how to go about exhibiting your work. Do also bring please your work for helpful, non-judgmental comment. It’s worth the trip out to West London’s suburbia.

If you haven’t attended before, please contact Robert on 07770 988348, 01895 675676 or robertd299@yahoo.co.uk

Directions are:
Ruislip (Metropolitan Line) and West Ruislip (Central Line) are both within 15 mins walk.

From Ruislip Station: Walk straight out of station past the buses. Turn left and then right at traffic lights into Ruislip High Street. Walk right down the High Street until you get to Cafe Rouge. Take the left fork at the mini roundabout and walk past the Harvester. Then turn left into Sharps Lane. 29 is 125 yards down on the left.

From West Ruislip Station: Turn right out of station and cross the road at the crossing. Continue away from the station down the hill passing a row of shops on your right. You will also pass a petrol station on your right. After about 400 yards you will reach a roundabout. Take the first left into Sharps Lane. At the T junction (after about 200 yards) turn right - this is still Sharps Lane - we are 100 yards down on the right.

Failed asylum seeker? On the run from the Anti-Immigration Squad? Looking for a cheap night out?

We have safe shelter, scanning facilities & we’re cheaper than Starbucks.

Last month we had a wholly-sharing session.

This month we’re having a wholly-sharing session.

A touch of deja vu amongst fine people. Bring pics if you can (please) or just turn up for a cup & a chat. LIP or not, pics or not, we turn up at 7 (ish) & turn out at 9 (ish); come when ready.

Viewfinder will have a fresh, fine & dandy new exhibition; worth the trip in itself! Here’s the map.
