Whatever the dominant image of London is, the things I see tourists
photographing are: each other leaning out of red phone booths
pretending to make a call; policemen with tit-shaped helmets; Big Ben;
red double-decker buses; black cabs; excessively-pierced alternative
types at Camden Lock; Beefeaters; Chelsea pensioners; and so on.
My dear departed mother, not a photographer, returned from England in
the late 50's with Coleman's little brown mustard pots for all, as
found on (she said) every restaurant table. To her, that was England.
A lifetime smoker, her ashtray had a drawing of a seated frazzled
woman hunched over and captioned "People are no damn good."
To her, that was very funny, not a philosophy.
Did any of that have to do with the discussion? :-)
If not, you'll have to excuse me, as I have something in my left eye
since I awoke, and it hurts like hell. Must take a nap...
