The programme was called 'The Impressioned Eye'. Favourite quotes from the programme: "A photo is like the stab of a knife, painting is meditation"; "When you hit the target there is not need to crop the picture"; and from Elliott Erwitt: "Pictures .... come and bite you." I am now looking for the programme on DVD if anyone has any information. Gerry -- Gerry Walden LBPPA Web: www.gwpics.com Web2:www.gwpics.thephotohq.co.uk Tel: +44 (0)23 8046 3076
