[Leica] Another OKCLUG Field Trip

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Bob, do you not realise that six months of any fine arts degree in any
university specifically focuses on ways of portentously mangling the English
language in new ways to describe an artist's work.

Part of that period is devoted to muscular flexibility, specifically honing 
the skill that manifests itself in the uncanny ability to stick one's head 
up one's own arse and declaim fictions flecked with faeces with a straight, 
and, indeed, even haughty face.

In the bios, I particulurly enjoyed "His camera freezes the flow of everyday 
life and the movement of people" as this represents that other skill of the 
curator - the one that takes a banal, basic, and bleedin' obvious fact and 
imbues the sentence that contains it with a faux reverence.
