Other exhibits are free, but this one is 5 quid, which will hardly break your bank. It also gives you a 10 pound discount towards the book purchase, which then ends up costing 15 pounds. The way I looked at it was: I'm just having a kebab for lunch today and in exchange for 20 pounds I get to see the Camille Silvy exhibit and own the book. Fuzzy logic, but I'm happy with the results :-) While at the NPG, I also saw the mini exhibit of Jason Bell's "An Englishman in New York", which despite the title featured a fair amount of women: http://www.npg.org.uk/whatson/display/jason-bell.php If you like B&W portraits, it's worth a visit (Kate Winslet looks particularly lovely). It only has a small room to itself with maybe 20 portraits hanging, but then you can sneak into the bookstore and thumb through the book to see many more. I didn't buy the book but wish I could've given up my kebab lunch for it. --M. -- \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- 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.
