http://www.photomonth.org/

PHOTOMONTH is the 'East London Photography Festival' and it's on now.

I'm definitely going to see Tom Hunter at the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood. He's also at http://www.readingwoman.org/en/cols/2005/8.html There's examples of his work, and he talks about his fascination with Renaissance painting and its re-creation using photography.

There's lots of awards going :-
Amnesty International Media Awards
British Journal of Photography International Awards

There's Festival Highlights including Robert Capa at the Barbican,
the Karsh Centenary,
Errol Francis Contemporary Art Projects,
Eve Arnold Magnum,
Angela Stapleford, Photochats,
Stephen Gill, Round Chapel,
and the afore-mentioned Tom Hunter.

And there's seminars, workshops and photo-walks. The website is chock full.

See you there. Several times, at least !!
