I'm not a great photographer, but here's one of my better photos. A simple Venice scene from 2000.

Yes, I took it. It was with one of my Cannon's. I have to double check which one. I love that camera. It's a really great one with an awesome lens.

EDIT: It was my cannon rebel

Sadly the Gilbert and George exhibition finished last Saturday It was really fantastic they had about 250 of their works spanning their entire career. There was a documentary about them on this week if you can find it. It was part of the 'Imagine' series with Alan Yentob. They also did a new piece that was available on the bbc website to download called 'planed'.

Fantastic pic tom

This was a nice topic idea, Luke. There are some wonderful photos here.

Here's another from my trip to Europe in 2000, taken from atop Mt. Pilatus overlooking Luzerne, Switzerland at dawn.

Here's some various pics that I've taken since last summer when I got my digital camera.

Fog.
You can definately download the free artwork from the torrent sites even if you cant find the docu.
There are some extracts here https://www.bbc.co.uk/imagine/episode/gi ... orge.shtml along with some rather inexplicable videos of them dancing to 'israelites' by desmond dekker amongst other things


Great pics face, where was the one with the, for lack of a better description, heads-on-string taken?

thanks til nice one

nice pics faceless i remember you posting the graffiti one before, i like it - something about it. i see the hanging head thing on the news - looks kinda spooky depending on what faces you get looking back at you wheres the venue? i've tried so many times to get decent pics in clubs but never quite make it

Thanks! Loved yours too. Especially that snail!

Hee hee, the war paint is for the reflecting the sun we got here but he put it on a bit funny!

Yes they can! And I've seen it as well in a biology class in high school!

Great photo's everyone.... I'll have to dig out some of my discs and see if I can upload some.

Face.... I was glad to see the one with the "heads" again.... it's one of my favourites

oh right yeah - the heads one was taken at Glasgow's Kelvingrove Museum, which is now Scotland's most visited tourist attraction.
