It reminded me of a lovely TV film that was made years back which was called 'A Sense of Place: The Fens', 60 minutes of pictures and sounds, no dialogue (or even monologue ) at all. I'll see if I can dub you a copy off my (PAL) VHS - you can figure out how to play it in Toronto I'm sure. regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Deadman [SMTP:john@pinkheadedbug.com] Sent: 02 October 2000 18:29 To: LUG Subject: Re: [Leica] RE: [Leica] the leicaness of leica WAS Erwin, photographic technique on 2/10/00 11:36 am, Jem Kime at jem.kime@cwcom.net wrote: > What was it about Washingborough (Lincs.) that took you there? > I grew up in the Lincolnshire fens and I think that you have managed to see > beyond the visitor's perspective of simple boredom. My family are there... sister in Washingborough and ma in Navenby... pa over towards the Wolds... brother in Lincoln... and I was born in Lincoln. I've never thought of it as remotely boring... spooky, yes, boring, no. I have a script which I hope will go into production next year which uses it as a backdrop and everyone comments that the landscape is like a character. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
