Daily Encounters

I always find that there's something whimsical about photojournalism exhibitions and this one looks cool. Lots of images from newspaper photographers spanning most of the 20th century. On at the NPG until Oct 25th (nb open till 8.50pm on thursdays and fridays)

The good thing about liking photography exhibitions is that there are some real gems of galleries to hang out in around London. Just don't forget your SLR. Like Photofusion on Electric Lane in Brixton (best accompanied by a post-exhibition bowl of spicy noodle soup at Fujiyama), or the Photographers' Gallery on Gt Newport Street, which has the best shop for DVDs and big books - and wrapping paper - ever.
And the Southbank usually has some photos somewhere - currently it is hosting the World Press Photo Exhibition till Sept 9th.
