If you get the chance, go and see the Chinese pictures by John Thomson at the Maritime Museum in Liverpool.

Thomson was a pioneering photojournalist who visited China in the 1860s, the images are absolutely stunning. A bit like Irving Penn or Diane Arbus only 100 years earlier.

Don't complain about carrying gear, it took four men just to lift the box of negatives.

Thanks for the link Ken, that looks really interesting.

Liverpool is only an hour or so away, so I may very well creep up there as I have a few days off work soon.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Apparently.

I went to see it twice earlier this week, some of the prints are huge. Unfortunately,the book has sold out.
