The Ballad Of British Folklore Exhibition at Christie's, South Kensington, London.
Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce that some of my work is now on display at Christie's auction house, London. It forms part of The Museum Of British Folklore's exhibition 'The Ballad Of British Folklore'.
The prints (from my Rushbearers series) are platinum prints which I have made from negs taken with my Mamiya7ii.
The exhibition in full features a great many folklore artefacts and the work of fellow photographers including the excellent Homer Sykes and Sarah Hannant.
On the night of the private viewing we had attendance figures of around the 1,000 mark and were treated to a number of talks, live demonstrations and performances and I had the pleasure of discussing my work with a good number of people. It was superb fun and absolutely lovely to see the work in situ.
The highpoint for me was probably being told by Homer Sykes that he thought my images 'really were very good indeed'. I'll take that.
The exhibition runs from 25 July – 1 September 2016 at Christie's Auction House, South Kensington, London. www.christies.com/exhibitions/2016/the-ballad-of-british-...If anyone should find themselves in London over the summer please try to pop by and give the museum (and me!) their support.
There's more stuff on my blog post here but here's a few pics from the event (gallery shots taken on a Fuji X-E1 with 35mm/f1.4 and 18mm/f2 lenses).

Great stuff Bob. Sounds like a good evening too. Homer Sykes stared my interest in street shooting with his shot of the Bacup Nutters many years back. Met him once and he was an nice guy.

Thanks everybody! You're right Helen it really was a fun crowd.
Arles...? I know nothing about Arles really, perhaps I should look into it. Thanks for the suggestion chaps.
