On November 9th 2024 we are going to host a special event with TKO: the legendary designer of the Pentax 17 film camera! He is flying over from Japan to spend time with our wonderful UK film community, so we are inviting you to an unique opportunity.
- Hear about the future of the Pentax Film Project directly from the man in charge!
- Q&A with the Pentax/RICOH team
- Enjoy a photowalk lead by Analogue Wonderland and Pentax/RICOH through London's iconic Southbank area
Logistics
Our exact meeting place has not yet been confirmed, but please assume that it will be walking distance from Southwark tube station (NB: the tube station is not the starting place, it's just so you can plan initial transport!)
We will start at the location at 12pm with a Meet-and-Greet, hosted by TKO from Pentax.
We will then head out on a photowalk around the iconic South Bank area: covering sights like Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge and more. Exact route and sights to be confirmed on the day, depending on weather!
There will be refreshment breaks planned and a group whatsapp set up on the day to ensure that we don't lose folks as we talk and take photos!
The photowalk will end back at the starting point at 4pm.
Accessibility
The Meet and Greet will be held in a space accessible for wheelchairs.
Due to the nature of the streets and paths around London South Bank we cannot guarantee a step-free photowalk. There will also be crowds of people all along the route with the associated noise and movement. However we will make all possible efforts to flex routes and pace to match the abilities of the attendees.
If you would like to come on the photowalk but would like more specific detail on the accessibility of any aspect then please contact us at help@analoguewonderland.co.uk
Cost
The event is FREE but please place an order as spaces are limited.
The ticket does not include any film or developing. However there will be Analogue Wonderland folk on hand (Amy and Karen) with deals on film to grab yourself an extra roll of anything you need, and they will also be happy to take a lab order and your film back with them for processing.
You need to bring
- Lunch, snacks and water as required
