Here's one I took when in london, not quite on the rampage, but a fine specimen for it's breed!
So realistic, believe it or not, this is operated by 2 men whilst on stage, and is full size. I do miss going to London as there is always something different going on, and this was an exhibit in the middle of Simon Arnaud's photo exhibition at the V&A. You can just stumble on things just by being watchful and being there.
Not only photographic exhibitions but there are other influences as well, such as paintings, the buildings, the general scene. Oh to be able just to take in the world of Photographs, and to draw inspiration from one's surroundings. I have been reading Lee Miller's biography lately, and the time she spent developing her art over the years (makes me feel I want to do the same) with some of the most famous photographers in any era, and through a great period of change. I would like to visit Farley Farm again in Sussex, which is run by her son Anthony, and besides being a inspirational, is full of other artist's work that visited the Farm when she finally settled down, Picasso being one. There is also alot going on in the locality, and just being able to get out there is a wonderful thing. People make places, who make people, who in turn create the stage for photographs to be taken.
