An exhibition by the Greenwich Satellite Group of London Independent Photography
The Greenwich group of London Independent Photographers is holding its first exhibition
over the August bank holiday weekend at its monthy meeting-place, The Viewfinder
Photography Gallery in Peyton Place.
London Independent Photography (LIP for short) isan informal group of over four hundred
amateur and professional photographers of all ages, backgrounds and levels of expertise.
For over twenty years it's members have come together to build a programme of practical
workshops, master classes, talks and exhibitions. Its satellite groups meet up each month
in various homes, galleries, studios & pubs throughout London to share work, arrange
exhibitions, talk photography.
The Greenwich group came together in May last year and is open to anyone who is a LIP
member and anyone who isn't. Group members include those who have spent a lifetime in
photography, those who spent last weekend and those still opening the box.
The grandly-titled Greenwich Annuale (shades of Venice-on-the-Thames)
reflects the openness and inclusiveness of the group. Entry was opened to anyone who
had ever attended a Greenwich Group meeting. Anyone could enter one image. Every
image was accepted.
Over the past year shared work has come from the Peninsular and the Park, Creek Road and
Kraków, Maze Hill and Mozambique, Croom's Hill and Colorado, Greenwich Reach and Gdansk;
family homes and family albums; high noon and the middle of a Kentish field at two in the morning.
