Recapping last week, the Photographers Gallery was disappointing in content and size. There was a mere single exhibition of rather uninteresting photographs of settlements made of natural materials around areas in UK. Apparently, they change exhibitions regularly, so I hope to revisit and be impressed. I do want to attend this
event where artist Yto Barrada is going to give a talk (for some of her work,

Woman in White was amazing, nothing short of what you would expect from Andrew Lloyd Webber productions. I was inspired by the soundtrack and went on Amazon to purchase the double CD with the original London cast. Cant wait for it to arrive. Apparently this production is ending 25/02 this month, so Im glad I got to see it. On a similar note, Im off to see Woman in Black (not related) tomorrow with my cousin. I have been told by several people it is extremely spooky. Hopefully, there will be seats available because we are just going to turn up before it starts. If that fails, we will watch Stomp, a grand spectacle of drum and percussion ensembles which my friend raves on about.
What else happened last week? oh yea, unexciting trips to the library. Below, Nehal looking mischeavious at senate house library. Below that is the side entrance to Kings College - how grand looking.
Ive made a new commitment to take my camera out everyday (more or less). Why? I realize I take a lot of photos when I am abroad but hardly any in London. The few I take in London are when I got out with friends. I want photos that captures everyday London - the familiar sights I walk pass everyday, the red buses, black cabs, the window store displays, local fruit and veg stand, the library, my study spot, everything! its those things that I am going to miss when I return to Australia. So from now on, Im going to make an effort in bringing my camera out more. So, watch this space for photos to come!
