Photomonth photography festival sits in East London and celebrates a vast collection of photography in galleries and venues until late November. Based in local areas including Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green in Tower Hamlets, Dalston, Homerton and Hoxton in Hackney. In these locations you can find an abundance of events, talks, pop-up shops and even a café-crawl that are still on for another month. The festival couldn’t be more different from those events usually held in galleries with white washed walls upon walls.

Posted 14 October 2014
A constructed and imagined treat to see a chronological tour of Peter Kennard’s work as part of the Oxford Photography Festival this Autumn. With a range of approximately 230 slides covering work from the 1970’s to present day, it was a feat to fit it into the strict one-hour timeframe of the session at Oxford Brooks.

I was rather late entering the world of photography. I’ve always been creative, firstly hoping to be an illustrator, but never quite feeling like I was talented enough. I first seriously picked up a camera when I was 25, but once I started to enjoy the learning curve, I realised this was the perfect way for me to be creative and explore the world. It grew from there through different cameras, styles and has lead to so many experiences and encounters.

Work is ever more behind closed doors. Each time you sign in as a visitor to a workplace, you probably also, without realising it, agree to respect the confidentiality of the company. There's a barrier for the resourceful photographer to surmount. But perhaps a bigger one is the move away from work being about the physical object to the growing intangibility of the service sector.

Redeye's Paul Herrmann gives his pick of the photos submitted for the third week of the 52 Weeks at Redeye challenge on Flickr - images responding to the title Dark Days.
What dark adventure. I think this struck a chord. Dark Days, bring them on. Perhaps the definitive maxim for us underemployed, glum, down at heel, rained-on photographers of the damp and dark north. Did I mention rain? I think there was some last month, even a little more than normal.
