Hugh Look has organised a first meeting for a Central London Satellite group of London Independent Photography. In the first 48 hours after the invitation went out, more than 20 responses were received from photographers of many levels of experience and different approaches. Several have offered to help out with meetings or organisation.

Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Time: 19.00-21.00
Venue:
The Art Workers Guild
6 Queen Square
Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3AT

The meeting will be held in the Gradidge Room. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please RSVP to Hugh a couple of days beforehand if you hope to attend so he can give the venue an idea of numbers. If you know another LIP member who might be interested, please let them know or just bring them along.

We need to discuss a few things, so please come with some ideas:
– What is the purpose of the Group?
– How often should we meet?
– When?
– Where?
– What should we do at meetings?
– Should we aim for a small exhibition/our own Flickr group/socal network presence etc?
– Who is prepared to help organise things?

Hugh’s suggestion for the first meeting: spend 30-40 minutes on the organisational stuff, and then get on to something photographic. I thought we might make it the broad theme “Life in the city”: anyone who wants to (and it’s not compulsory) bring one or two of their own photographs – and something from another photographer they’d like to discuss. Prints or digital files welcome. We’ll have a laptop and projector, but I’m not sure about internet access, so best bring anything you want to project on a memory stick.
