Shoot!

Today I had the opportunity to visit the Photographer’s Gallery in London, every time I go to a major city I make it my duty to find a gallery that will expose me to a new lens, way of thinking or simply that will transport me to a different era. Bulls eye!

“Shoot!” did just that… An exhibition on photography post WW1, in which normal subjects that attended the local fair grounds would participate on a shooting game to hit a target. Upon hitting the bulls eye the participant would receive a picture of themselves.

It was interesting to see the different faces, expressions, determination, and even frustration of the shooters through the pictures.

At the end of it all I was able to take home a target bullseye filled with holes, sadly I never hit the target despite all 9 attempts… But I leave with the memory of a great afternoon at the Photographer’s Gallery in which I too became a subject of the exhibition.
