Yes, I took it. It was with one of my Cannon's. I have to double check which one. I love that camera. It's a really great one with an awesome lens.
EDIT: It was my cannon rebel |

Sadly the Gilbert and George exhibition finished last Saturday  It was really fantastic they had about 250 of their works spanning their entire career. There was a documentary about them on this week if you can find it. It was part of the 'Imagine' series with Alan Yentob. They also did a new piece that was available on the bbc website to download called 'planed'.
Fantastic pic tom

This was a nice topic idea, Luke. There are some wonderful photos here.
Here's another from my trip to Europe in 2000, taken from atop Mt. Pilatus overlooking Luzerne, Switzerland at dawn. |

Fog.
You can definately download the free artwork from the torrent sites even if you cant find the docu.
There are some extracts here http://www.bbc.co.uk/imagine/episode/gilbert_and_george.shtml along with some rather inexplicable videos of them dancing to 'israelites' by desmond dekker amongst other things
Great pics face, where was the one with the, for lack of a better description, heads-on-string taken? |
