This is what Heather went onto do in London. This looks very much like an exhibition based around flickr content. We could do that for a day – I am sure we can blag a free space and loan of equipment. We can make it a bit of a social as well.

Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990–2005 at the National Portrait Gallery in London includes over 150 photographs by the celebrated photographer, encompassing well-known work made on editorial assignment as well as personal photographs of her family and close friends.

I almost went to see this yesterday but when I saw the admission price £11 – I turned round disappointed and walked up to the Photographers Gallery – which is free. They are hosting their last shows before moving to a temporary venue – before their big new gallery in Soho opens.

If and when we create our Birmingham Photospace we should keep it free entry if at all possible

At our second meeting on Tuesaday 14th October we agreed a number of actions and made decisions;

We agreed a vision – with a few minor changes being proposed around education

We agreed a name Birmingham Photospace

We agreed action on the web front

We agreed to aim to hold a more public event in November to discuss creating a photospace

We agreed to talk to a few key people in the City and elsewhere for their input

We started thinking about our first exhibition

Further details will appear on this blog shortly
