I seem to find out loads of information about exhibitions, shows and many exciting things from my colleagues. Well, one colleague of mine shouted out about the Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition 2013 in Somerset House, and what do you know, I love photography. So I decided to go. Unfortunately it isn't free. Ticket cost £7.50. I purchased mine online, but that meant I had to join the WPO World Photography Organisation's website... That's quite cheeky I think. Once I had purchased my ticket it stated that I could go on any day until it ends on May 12th.
I have always passed Someset House, but I have never went in to have a look. I'm a Londoner who has never been into Somerset House? Yep that's right. I'm sure many Londoners have never been in there before, as a majority would see no point or they may lead busy, busy lives to even go in and have a look around it... Here's just a glimpse of it from the outside as you enter into the centre area. :D The Geek becomes Tourist Geek again but in her own hometown! ¬_¬"

| I went on a Thursday after work... |
Now on with the photography! Well, it's a smallish exhibition and I managed to go through all the rooms within half-an-hour, and this was straight after work. Not bad!Some of the pictures didn't inspire me or excite me with the photographer's inspiration. But I guess each photographer has their own way of expressing their lives and other people's lives through their camera.
The photos are categorised into age groups and types of photos they are and here's a few photos that I did like from the exhibition... |
| The hallway at one end |
 |
| Heheh. This is a very good picture as it depicts someone selling food in the cinema.. |

This is great fun! It must've taken a lot of time and energy just to get this one right...
especially for the first picture at the front |
