There are also two great retrospectives, the unmissable Vivian Maier: A Life Uncovered and Walter Joseph's photographs of London street markets in the 1940s.
Some interesting exhibitions. The Vivian Maier one in particular.
Going to have a look at it next Tuesday if anyone is around.
I went to see John Maloof's talk (he's the guy who discovered Vivian's photos) at the National Portrait Gallery. It was fascinating. He was nothing like I expected (much younger, for one thing). He actually found the photos because he was into local history and was buying up old photos of Chicago to use in a book he was writing.
There's a book coming out from him soon and he gave us lots of fascinating tit bits from it on the condition we promised not to share them before the book comes out.
