40 weeks + 1 day = H U G E and grumpy lady (although I am almost managing a smile here!)

HAD to get out of the house yesterday so we scoured the London gallery websites and picked an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery called 'Daily Encounters', a brief taste of the history of photo-journalism in the UK. It was fascinating to read about the history of some iconic images (for example this image of a milkman delivering milk through the rubble during WWII was actually staged - he was the photographer's assistant!), as well as learn about the history of photography in the media and how it evolved. Rupert Murdoch has a lot to answer for!
