I hope to have a chance to view it when I travel to the UK to see my granddaughter. I have frequently found that my personal social positions run contrary to those expressed by artists, but I have never felt that diminishes the art. The power of expression is what we as photographers and artists must consider, not the message. I have never agonized over the politics of Da Vinci. Why would I worry about the politics of Robert Frank or, for that matter, my good friend Shel?

It would be great if we could keep the discussion to the
artistic/technical merits of the photograph. Unfortunately it always
ends with political rants that have nothing to do with photography.

I agree, but I welcome social/political photography, especially when

FWIW, I just watched an extremely powerful documentary on Robert Frank (BTW I have it on tape next time anyone comes to visit) and it was approximately 5 per cent photography and 95 per cent states of mind....




Cheers, Cotty
