[Leica] Blackmon exhibition

[Douglas Barry]

That's fair enough, Peter. A chacun son goût. They ARE artificial, but 
many great photographers have used artifice - think Philippe Halsman, 
Man Ray, Sally Mann, and myriads more. Anytime there is any direction in 
a portrait, that's artifice, even getting the subject to sit in a 
certain manner in a certain light...

I happen to enjoy Blackmon's particular artifice in setting up these 
shots, and wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of them. However, I 
have a major hurdle living with me. My wife likes paintings and doesn't 
mind me buying those, but baulks at photographs :-)

Keep safe!

Douglas
