Ansel Adams Exhibition.

A long day today, started after the school run by getting the 8.45 train to London from Penrith, then out to Queens Park, for a meeting with the Yosemite and Maroposa county tourist board, who invited me to London to discuss the possibility of running photographic workshops to Yosemite! Perhaps starting in 2014.

They kindly gave me a ticket to the Ansel Adams exhibition "from the mountains to the sea" at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich; so a tube and DLR journey to there. What a great exhibition; not only was it fantastic to see the iconic Adams shots as proper photographic prints rather than pictures in books, but also to see some of his less well known images - I'd love to hear a camera club judge's views of some of them! The NMM is an interesting place, photography permitted anywhere - except in the Ansel Adams Exhibition - so I took this one outside of the exhibition proper, of the entrance area, ticket desk and book sales. I did like the small size of the girl by the desk, the huge picture, and the EXIT over the door seemed to make a comment about not being allowed to take pictures!

Then tube back to Euston and a 3 hour + rail journey home.

A day of one 2-hour meeting, one 1-hour exhibition and almost 10 hours on trains, tubes and the Docklands Light railway.

I'm so glad I don't commute any more, but worth the trip for the exhibition alone!
