Laura Goodman’s photographic exhibition continues its UK tour in Glasgow at The Gallery at Mussel Inn.
The Coombe End Preview is on Thursday 4th September: mail Laura if you’d like an invitation. The work will be on show until 30th September, and then we’re hoping Laura will come and do a talk about her methods and practice at Number 7, the new private gallery space.

Never a Dawkins fan, his absolutism has always seemed too dogmatic for my more agnostic view of life as we know it, but I do admire his style. Who hasn’t had hatemail? Some of mine has been an absolute hoot. The stuff from Lawrence Windrush’s fanboys adoring fan was pretty much like this.

The integrity of the documentary nature of the photograph is sacrosanct, isn’t it? Do we always believe what we see when it’s a map, a trainspotter, a mobile phone picture?

Yesterday we found a Doris Day tape under the floorbords. Tulips from Amsterdam anyone? And lots of coins - probably enough to buy a builder’s breakfast from Stephanie at the baker’s.
With a big push, it’s possible we’ll have a darkroom by the weekend. Please let us know if you’d like to a) come and help b) would like to go our new mailing list specifically for events and whatnot at No 7.
