The Jay and Hurn bit was not in any way a quotation. It was an off-the-top-of-the-head paraphrasing of something I only vaguely remember from a book I read some time ago. I probably should not have paraphrased them without going back and rereading the section in question, but what the heck, it seemed like the thing to do at the time. I actually highly recommend both Jay and Hurn books, 'On Being a Photographer' and 'On Looking at Photographs'. Both books are fairly free of 'academic codswallop', at least compared to some books on photography. I'd also recommend Hurns latest book 'Wales: Land of My Father'. If I remember, I'll try and dig out the book in question and provide some actual quotes. Tom Finnegan Seattle
