While other arts organisations shun ye old community notice boards others like everyman + fact actively encourage posting.
Although this is not a new idea, it is a good one and well worth a visit.
I think it was in Amelie, the famous french film where the female lead discovers an old photo under the photo booth and so she begins a intriguing search that eventually brings her love in the form of the man who has been collecting discarded photo booth images from across Paris. What is it that makes us so fascinated by discarded images, we look at them with wonderment of others lives, but there is still that detachment from reality, the images have that soul stealing quality. They are the past, we look on and question them for answers to life’s imponderables.
International Gallery – ‘UnClaimed’ Photograph exhibition: “
‘UnClaimed’ Photograph exhibition
3 – 28 August 2009
The UnClaimed Photograph exhibition aims to reunite a sack of lost photographs with their owners or relations. The Photographs were rescued from a skip on Wood Street, when the Samson Camera Shop closed down earlier this year, and go as far back as the 1930’s (people getting reprints of family photos) all the way through the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, upto recently.”

I’d put this off for ages but when Alan Dunn contacted me to ask if I had received his Revolution CD catholic guilt surronded me and I said yes but i hadn’t listened to any of it.
My guilt is now dissolved as i have listened to at least one cd and there are some great tracks gathered from around the globe. I had to withhold my laughter at some which always looks as if you are having a fit when in a crowded public place – absolute class it is.
Amongst the serious talk of revolution from political figures across the years is a track from – Sisters Of Revolution excerpts from 9th Floor Radio Show courtesy of Sisters Of Revolution and 9th Floor Radio, an Internet radio station broadcasting from Laney College in Oakland, California, USA- which i just loved.
