Thanks Phil,

And, of course, this week on 702 mornings the good Dr spoke at length about another intrinsic part of daily life — Farting.

Cheers,

We bumped into each other at the Sculptures By The Sea exhibition at Bondi in about the year 2000.  I was wandering around shooting with a 4x5 Linhof Technika and this got him started on a series of intelligent questions and queries — but always very respectful and genuinely intrigued.

We should count our blessings for what the ABC has given us over the years.

Well, no idea about the ABC, but having lost the total BBC output a week or so ago due to satellite footprint changes, I'm bereft! The entire cultural download to foreign parts has vanished with the loss of BBC 4 tv. The fleabite masquerading as icing on the cake of disaster was that I'd just spent €10 buying five DVDs on which to record a new' history of R'n'R' series that had been advertised. Those plastic slabs now lie there, laughing their collective ass off.

I have no doubt that the findings that Dr Karl comments on are correct.
Gen Y and the smartphone snapshot culture meet...and the ultimate empty thought-bubble results!

For me though I actually shoot with a view to memory and recognition.
