[Leica] Potato Photo

[Douglas Barry]

The Harry Gruyaert book that was mentioned here a couple of months ago 
finally arrived at my local library having been winged over from some other 
branch in Dublin. I collected it this morning and before looking at the 
images contained in it, I read the foreword. My god, it is prententious 
codswallop written by someone who is firmly up his own arsehole, as well as 
poor Gruyaert's. I'll look at the pictures later as the fierce afternoon low 
winter sunlight is making it hard to swim through the full appreciation 
demanded by Gruyaert's dance through both nature's and life's scintillating 
colour wheel....

Jaysus, it's catching...
