Invitation - London

[earleygallery]

OK my plan for a London meet pre One Challenge hasn't happened so far, due to other commitments I've found it hard to find a weekend to suggest, so now I'm thinking of a post challenge meet.

In the meantime, I'm holding an exhibition in London from 22-28 October with a private view on the evening of the 25th. Any forum members in the area are welcome on the night(print this invite) or of course to visit whilst the exhibition is on.

This is an idea I've been working on for a while, born out of the beginning of a collection of old photographs, some of which have formed the basis of the exhibition, of prints on photo paper, canvas and paintings, as well as some of the original images on display.

The exhibition is on at Chelsea Gallery, The Old Town Hall, Kings Road, SW3. More details on my (new/in progress) website Earley Gallery

Nice one, James.

I won't be able to take up your offer of private viewing, but with the First World War a subject very close to my heart, I wish you every success with the show.

Many thanks Andy.

Good stuff, James, and congratulations. I'll certainly try to come along, work commitments permitting. I'll let you know if I can.

Regards,

Bill

James, I'd certainly like to see this exhibition on the 25th. I'm due to travel out of the country late in the month, arrangements haven't been finalised. I'll let you know nearer the date of I can attend. Hoping that's no problem for you.

Bob.

Bill, Robert, no problem, come along on the day if you can, it would be good to see you.

I hope the exhibition goes very well - congratulations on its being staged. It's honestly not likely that I'll be in London that week, but all the best nonetheless.

By god, man, from your avatar you don't look near old enough to have taken those WW I photos.

[earleygallery]

Brent, why thank you !

I have been collecting old photographs for some years and particularly this genre/period - I had the idea to do something more with the images - originally I was working on some Warholesque idea but my limited experience with photoshop and digital printing has taken me down a different path with it - also many of the images simply stand so well in their own right and don't deserve to be meddled with too much.

There's more info on my website.

Cheers

James -- this looks very interesting. I'll try to be there on the 25th. John

Just seen your post and wish you every success with your exhibition. As it happens I am attending a small re-union (not of WW1 vets I hasten to add!) in Hammersmith on 21st so will try to get to Chelsea for your exhibition on Sunday the 22nd if I can persuade 'er indoors' to come along too!

Good luck
ps just noticed from looking at your web site (very nice BTW) that the exhibition venue is not open on Sundays so I guess you won't be there until Monday 23rd which I regret will be too late for us.

[earleygallery]

Hi Dave,

Sorry no, its not open on the Sunday. It will run from pm on the Mon 23rd through to the Saturday but its open til 8pm Mon/Tue/Thurs as well.

Sorry you can't make this one.

Cheers
James

I'm really sorry that I can't make it since I'd love to go. It is very kind of you to offer the invitation.

Best, and good luck with the book.

[spylaw4]

Regrettably I can't make it on the 25th - prior engagement, but I wish your exhibition every success. I'll try to make it on one of the other days tho'.

[earleygallery]

Ilan, Brian, many thanks for your good wishes.

I was up til 5am this morning preparing and spent the afternoon hanging the pictures, but at least it's done now!

Anyone who can make it on Wed is welcome or if anyone wants to visit another day let me know and I'll try to be there - otherwise just feel free to pop in if you happen to be in the area and have the time.
