    John Gay

    This linky takes you to an English Heritage site showing the work of John Gay, a German born English photographer.

    I had never heard of him but came acroos a new book just released by English Heritage to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth - title:

    England Observed, John Gay (1909 - 1999)

    Well worth a look

    I thought this was going to be about the composer (or librettist to be exact) of The Beggars Opera!

    Never heard of this other feller.

    He does seem to like taking people from the rear

    It's a good exhibition, was there this afternoon.

    I also bought a copy of the book. Some superb photographs.

    Was about to post a message about it, but you've already done so
