We all walk the same journeys every morning, but the Viewfinder Photography Gallery in Greenwich is showcasing how our repetitive routes can throw up beauty and intrigue every day, and that a local environment can differ greatly from day to day.
School Run exhibits two photographers: Kelly Hill and Jonathan Illingworth. Both take pictures on the only time of day they find available — walking to drop off their children.
Hill's ongoing project involves taking a picture every day for a year until January 2010 — continuing while the exhibition's on and beyond. Hill's photographs tend to be delicate and mysterious; Illingworth's, in contrast, taken on his walks through Plumstead Wood, southeast London, are often darker and more macabre, and taken more spontaneously.
A workshop, running alongside the exhibition, challenges participants to take photographs along the same route as each other. Participants can choose to walk through either historic Greenwich or Deptford Creek, looking out for environment triumph - or tragedy. The workshop is open to all levels, and costs £5 each (free to Viewfinder members) and can be booked at http://www.viewfinder.org.uk/events.html.
