    Entry 6.50, or 30 with a yearbook.

    This was fantastic last year, such a great exhibit space.

    Went to this last Friday morning, all I can say is WoW, enjoyed it, some jaw dropping images. Bought the book also, although its not the same as seen the images large in the exhibition.

    I was also lucky enough to be just finished in the exhibition just as a junior school tour arrived :D

    I went in a couple of weeks ago too, it's a fantastic exhibition. Some of the work is just unbelievable, but I love the layout and the presentation. The scale of the images allows people to view them without being bumped or rushed along, a nice quiet space.

    I need to make an effort to go visit more exhibitions :)

    Going to Dublin for the weekend, perfect timing as Saturday is the last day. Looking forward to it.

    Go visit the Gerry Andrews exhibition in the Temple Bar National Photographic Archive also - it's fantastic! It closes at 5pm sharp though (and sometimes at 4.45pm depending on security - so give yourself time).

    I went to see last year's version of this and I have to say I was disappointed. It might be the nature of the exhibition as a collection across a range of journalism photography, but I found it generally incoherent. There were plenty of photographers I would loved to have seen more of and I think that's a lot of where my disappointment comes. Just seeing a few images, and not the body of work of these great documentary photographers is just disappointing. Especially when I have no hope of seeing their exhibitions where I am in Ireland.

    I think having to travel from Cork also added to it. For six hours of travel in a day I really need much more of an experience. I'm not going to travel to this this year, but it's definitely worth looking at if you're already in Dublin.

    I went to see this last weekend, from the get go it was a bit of a let down. Supposed to open at 12, the security at CHQ didn't open the building till 12:40 or something. People waiting outside.
    Once we got in, people were told to wait for the lights to come on, another 5 minutes... none of this was the exbo's fault.
    I heard some people traveled a fair distance for it, felt sorry for them.
    After all that, I enjoyed the pics. Not sure I would have traveled from Cork either for it, but that's just me.
