13th

Today I went into work relatively late because of last night. I had a meeting with Saumya and Mandy (the we exhibition team) at 1 which took ages to happen as Mandy was still a little tippled from the night before. Me and Saumya made some progress with the order of other photos and an eagle landed on the windowsill to say hello. When Mandy arrived we all spoke for a while and then when we realized that nothing was going to be decided in her present state we called it a day and went to go and get some chaat. Chaat is the original Indian fast food and comes in various delicious cold and hot forms.
I worked for a while and then Saumya and I went to see a photography exhibition by one of the artists I had met at the house party last night. He was very nice about us being there, the good and drinks were abundant and I really liked the work. The title if the show was 'Sleepers' and each photo had people in it sleeping 'rough'. I am putting this in hyphenated parenthesis because some of the situations were outside and some were on chairs, beds etc. so I don't want to generalise and make it sound like the photos were about the homeless. Saumya used the opportunity to teach me some of the processes used to curate photography and we analysed the whole show. She's 22. But it wasn't condescending. The art atmosphere here seems to be based on very open discussion. For instance the current eminent photographers are easily accessible to talk to by the younger generation. E.g. Pablo Bartholomew.
