I had a walk along the South Bank today. Some kids were larking about on one of the beaches:

It's a very powerful exhibition and well worth visiting. As a one-off today there was a live choir with piano accompaniment performing old spirituals very beautifully and effectively. Perhaps the most moving of the exhibits is by Chris Steele-Perkins - portraits and the individual stories of South Korean women who were forced to work as sex slaves - "Comfort Women" - during WW2. The gesture of this woman reading a caption seemed like a Japanese bow. I shot from the hip, and got lucky: http://www.web-options.com/SB2.jpg Link to Magnum's page about the exhibition: http://www.magnumphotos.com/Archive/C.aspx?VP=XSpecific_MAG.Exhibition Detail_VPage&pid=29YL5304F234 http://tinyurl.com/5p7msu Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
