Gary’s Street Photography Workshops have been popular, and a second set of dates are now scheduled.

September 13th & 27th at Photofusion (limited to 8 places)

The aim of the workshop is to explore street photography in it’s broadest sense and to give the participants the opportunity to develop confidence, explore their own visual ideas and find ways to successfully photograph on the streets. More details on the Photofusion web site:

Gary is a member of LIP and can be contacted for more information via his web site http://www.gaspweb.co.uk

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.

The next meeting of the Harrow LIP group will take place on 18th June at 7:00PM. The location is 29 Sharps Lane, Ruislip HA4 7JG.

We hope to have a lively meeting. Last month’s meeting included discussion on the use of image galleries to sell photographs, processing and image scanning. At the June meeting will will be planning a photographic day out that will include a visit to an exhibition in addition to image taking opportunities. So, if you would like to take part, please come with your ideas. Please do also bring your work for discussion and helpful comment.

How about an all-sharing meeting?

A couple of weeks back we had our first group shoot in Greenwich Park; some who survived will be around to show-and-tell. Some who can’t make it have sent pics for feedback. Some have posted here:

How about you? Something you just can’t wait to show, something you’re nervous about, something unsure, something stunning but you don’t know it yet? Whatever … please come anyway; a supportive & welcoming environment guaranteed.

We meet at the Viewfinder Gallery where there is a new exhibition: Amazingness, & Anna Hillman will be around to introduce her work (which is a fine contrast to her series in the current issue of LIP mag).

Fine work, fine people. LIP or not, pics or not, we turn up at 7 (ish) & turn out at 9 (ish); come when ready. New to photography? Here’s a good place to start.
