Just for you manon will this do ??!!!

And here is the delightful Shelley in magnificent Technicolour, and B&W

Looks to me as though he was making a bit of a spectacle of himself, hey manon!!

Hi Maddy...............there is also a Gay Icon Exhibition thread on the Talk and Twang board. To save me rewriting it though these were my personal thoughts on said Exhibition.

Erm! and a serious comment warning coming up here!!

One thing that struck me about some of the photos in the exhibition. Obviously there was only one picture of real interest, but one has to be objective about these things. So here goes......................

It's amazing what you can achieve if you have famous parents. What I'm getting at here is, Mary McCartney (sibling of the Beatles McCartney empire) had a number of her photos hanging in the gallery. Jolly good show ...........round of applause!

However, I felt the content, focus and the composition of those photos were very poor.

For instance, the picture of Billie Jean King made her look dwarfish, and with a very big hand slap bang in the centre of the picture drawing attention to itself. Perhaps it was an emphasis on the fact you need a blooming big hand to whack a tennis ball over the court at 100 mph.

Sarah Waters seemed to have been caught with her eyes shut, and the books in the rather substantial, smack you in the face, bookcase were out of focus.

In others, there were parts of the picture I would have personally cropped to make the composition look more of a finished product, and indeed as if some thought had gone into the composition of the subject matter.

I would be very surprised if Mary didn't have all the facilities needed to carry out a professional photograph, unlike us folks who have to make do with the stolen snap shot as someone shoots past you, and that's if you're lucky!

So the question is:-
Does some talent rest solely on who your famous parent/s are rather than the talent you may personally have yourself?
Perhaps being a pernickety Virgo, I'm over critical when something offends the artistic eye. If so I apologise.
Be interesting to see what other attendees of the exhibition think
