Both very nice, Bob. That gallery shot is quite stunning! I'm sure the
exhibit was compelling & stunning as well. Those portraits on the wall look
beautiful. Would have liked to see that exhibit. Cheers, Christine

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

The purpose of the walk was to get to the Royal Festival Hall where
there is an exhibition by a group of Magnum photographs about
present-day slavery. 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:
