Art of the World international art exhibition in London

“Art of World” exhibition video to “Damn You All”  by Frazer Kennedy at La Galleria Pall Mall

“Art of the World” international contemporary group exhibition took place at La Galleria Pall Mall in London between 16 and 22 March with the Opening Night on 17 March.  Musicians Frazer Kennedy (vocals/ guitar) and Rick Joseph (acoustic guitar) delivered fantastic entertainment on the night.  “Scotland has produced more than whisky and mythical monsters.  It has also produced Frazer Kennedy – one of the best singer-songwriters to come out of Scotland since Gerry Rafferty… ” – says Frazer’s profile on his website.  “From a childhood in the mountains and the sounds of the ceilidh, it’s little wonder Frazer’s music is inspired by the highlands and ruined castles echoing to ancient battles.”  Enjoy “Art of World” exhibition video above to the balladic  “Damn You All” by Frazer Kennedy.

Memories of London Snow 2013

Snow in London is a bit of a rarity.  It only comes once in several years and causes havoc  and chaos, leading to transport disruption, school closures and power cuts.   Photos of London in snow give you a good idea of what London does not look like most of the time.  But as everywhere else on the planet snow brings romantic atmosphere and a touch of magic to London streets, historic monuments and parks.

Snow 2013 stayed in London for less than in week.  As  a photographer I felt blessed on this very special occasion of seeing red London icons turn white, which created a perfect monochrome setting  for imagery.

Photography during snowfall is a tricky business.  Camera is getting wet and fingers are freezing. Capturing snow flakes is a skill in itself, without much chance of  perfection in London.  I did what I could without causing too much damage to my camera or to my fingers.
