Drawn by Light<\/a> – The Royal Photographic Society Collection at the National Media Museum is on till the 21st June 2105. Go see it!<\/p>\n

Steph and I went to see this on Sunday for a couple of hours, it was well worth the visit. Unusually the curation has taken a themed visual content approach rather than the expected chronological exhibition.<\/p>\n

There was far too much to comment on here but here are some of our highlights.<\/p>\n

Stephs favourite work was this print by Frederick William Bond “Contents of an Ostrich’s stomach” 1927<\/p>\n

Frederick Bond was a photographer at London Zoo, and when an ostrich died he recorded the contents of the birds stomach…<\/p>\n

There were a number of Maull & Polyblank Albumen prints on display. I have a couple of these myself, I thought I’d blogged them but looking back I haven’t.<\/p>\n

\"Brad6\"<\/p>\n

My highlight of the exhibition was this image of Christina by Lieutenant Colonel Mervyn O’Gorman 1913.<\/p>\n

This series of work has had much publicity of late especially in social media for the lovely red colours in his early autochromes<\/a>. This image though is a Bromide print and I thought it was a fantastic image. I’d go back just to see this.<\/p>\n
