Shiny Red Bridge


Natasha and Gemma oogling Fiona's large format prints...




Just came home from *gasp* a photography exhibition. Oh no how could I...


But Oh yes! Fiona Amundsen, my old theory teacher, just completed a residency in Seoul earlier this year and here are the fruits of her trip on the walls of Gus Fisher.

The exhibition entitled 'Miracle on the Han River' shows the Cheonggyecheon stream which has been redeveloped in an attempt to re-beautify the city, showing the brightness of specific aspects (such as the red bridge and green foliage) set amongst a city grey. Yes we were very impressed.

There was even a talk given by Cassandra Barnett, which we agreed was excellent due to the lack of wank. My only niggle of the show comes from the height at which the photos were hung. Very appropriate for those who are six foot (such as Mr McIntyre), perhaps not so much for those who are in the 5 foot bracket...(moi) Much tippy-toeing involved. Perhaps i should grow a few inches, wouldn't that be rather nice?

For some reason, my photography skills are that of the blurry kind today. How appropriate...
