Our August meeting was very well attended despite the rioting in London that week, and a wide variety of work from projects in progress was shown – see the examples below. Member Edith Templeton gave a most interesting and perceptive review of the current Thomas Struth exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, and the feedback from Ariadne van de Ven about the LIP Preparing for Exhibition workshop earlier in the month proved to be very useful in light of the approaching submission deadline for the annual exhibition.

Our next meeting will take place on Wed 14th September, at 18.45 at the usual venue – The Artworkers Guild, 6 Queens Square, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3AT. Please note that this replaces the previously advertised date of 7th September. Topic for discussion will be Inspiration: what inspires us as photographers. Please bring along a maximum of 6 images which demonstrate your inspiration – either as prints or on a memory stick. New members are always welcome – just turn up on the night.

We will also be looking at issues surrounding copyright for photographers and giving a short review of the Eyewitness exhibition at the RA celebrating the influence of Hungarian photographers in the 20th century.
