Londonist Presents: Slow Exposure
One of my photographs has been chosen for the Londonist Presents: Slow Exposure exhibition opening this week. Check out the press release below, and come along to see the exhibition - it promises to be a great event and there’ll be some stunning photography on show. It opens on Friday 24th April, 2009 and runs for one month.
Londonist Presents: Slow Exposure. The March Of Progress by Jamie Gladden
Londonist Presents: Slow Exposure is an exhibition of winning images from the first photography competition run by Londonist, a website that celebrates the culture, history and daily events of the capital. The photographs capture familiar London haunts in an unusual fashion, showcasing this hectic city at its most relaxed. The exhibition will be hanging in the laid-back ambiance of Ray’s Jazz Cafe (Foyles, Charing Cross Road) from 24 April.
The winners were chosen from over 200 entries by a panel of expert judges:
* Mike Ramsden, Presenter, BBC London.
* Amanda Stone, Director, Slow Down London
* Brett Jefferson Stott, Founder & CEO of Shoot Experience.
The exhibition forms part of Slow Down London, a festival to inspire Londoners to challenge the cult of speed and “live life in real time”.
Join us for a private view on 1 May, 6-8.30pm to find out who has won special prizes courtesy of Shoot Experience, meet judges, photographers and Londonist contributors and chill out to suitably ambient music. The cafe will be open, serving a selection of snacks and drinks. The party will continue later at a local bar. RSVP to londonist@gmail.com
If you can’t make it on the night, pop into Foyles at your leisure - this is a celebration of slowness, after all.
Londonist presents: Slow Exposure runs at Ray’s Jazz Cafe, Foyles, Charing Cross Road from 24 April to 24 May. Entrance is free.

Hey Andy, Yeh, just the one photo of mine. It runs for a month, so there’s plenty of time. J
