Leaving the Goodman Gallery and turning a corner I came upon this man taking a short break from painting the wooden scaffold behind him. It seemed such an excellent canvas for a portrait I had to ask him if I could take his picture. He joked that it would break my lens and, when I showed him the image, that now he would be famous.
After the Moriyama show at The Photographers’ Gallery, we went on to the Flowers Gallery where I was hoping to see Edward Burtynsky’s new work but I’d misread the web site and that show wouldn’t be opening for weeks. We went on from there, through Mayfair, to the Richard Saltoun Gallery for an excellent event dedicated to the launch of 2 new Hannah Arendt books. A perfect end to the day!
