Walmgate Bar, York City Walls. I’d left all my cameras in the flat whilst we went for a Curry, but on the way back our local gate had been transformed by the twilight. So I took it with my phone and edited it on a tablet. Earlier in the day I’d watched a man with a Nikon DSLR over his shoulder shoot a series of shots using an iPad mini.
Exhibitions at Somerset House
There’s a big, free exhibition of Landscape Photography at Somerset House which closes on Sunday 28th April.
You can also pay to see some works by Picasso from 1901, but these are only in two rooms and probably not worth it. To my eyes they were simply work in progress. But just outside the ticketed rooms there’s a room of drawings by Picasso, Matisse and Aristide Maillol which are extremely good.
One floor down from the Picasso you can stand just a couple of feet from these very famous paintings by Manet and Van Gogh. It took my breath away.
