August was a busy month for me, partly due to the Olympics. Although I decided not to go to any of the actual events, there were half a dozen protests connected with it among the events I photographed.<\/p>\n

Putting work on My London Diary <\/em>has taken longer than usual, mainly because I’ve been occupied in September with other things, particularly with getting work ready for the show ‘In Protest<\/a>‘ which is officially open from 1 October.\u00a0 For the black and white work I had to review contact sheets from around 15 years of work – around 30 A4 folders crammed full of them.\u00a0 There are still a few pictures I know that I took that I haven’t managed to locate. Possibly although I used them as black and white I may actually have taken them on colour negative film – there are another large bank of folders of colour work on film I just did not have time to approach – perhaps enough for another show at a later date.<\/p>\n

Looking through the digital colour was much easier, although there may still be things that I missed as I had to rush. But you can page through images on a digital ‘lightbox’ considerably faster than looking through physical sheets housed in files, and ‘My London Diary’ actually serves as a useful index to my digital work.<\/p>\n

The big problem was that there were so many pictures I would have liked to have included in the show, but space is limited, and I decided from the start to limit myself to around 25 framed images.\u00a0 A larger number actually feature in the show as\u00a0 smaller images on five sheets of work.<\/p>\n

The show went up on the wall Friday, and I breathed a large sigh of relief, and got down to\u00a0 producing and sending out the invites for the private view. Mostly that is now done and I decided I had to finish getting my work from August on line before September was up, and I made it with a few hours to spare.<\/p>\n

The month started on an Olympic note, with War on Want protesting against the official sportswear partner of London 201, Adidas, with some games outside their Oxford St store.<\/p>\n
