Impressions Gallery - David Chancellor "Hunters"
This exhibition was really interesting, and made me think a lot about this sensitive subject. Although I really don't agree with hunting for sport (even in Britain where the wildlife isn't under so much threat of extinction) I was not actually aware that this sort of hunting is extremely beneficial to the local community. Licences are only given out when there is a problem animal affecting the wildlife or people in a town, hunters pay for this licence, kill the animal and then take what trophy they want; the towns/village people are then able to eat or sell the meat that is left.
National Media Museum
Looking at the history of media was actually incredibly interesting, the fact that it's an interactive museum also made it fun! The old cameras made me envious of previous generations and I wish someone would make DSLR cameras look like the cameras from the 50s. I also wish someone would put an LCD screen in a bubble tv (maybe they have?), there's something so cool about the vintage look of things.
