Tina is displaying prints from these to school children on International Day and (she is) talking to the kids about photography. There's no political or social commentary involved. Philip, do you have work on display somewhere on-line so that we can get to know you?<<<<<<, Well I never!!!!!! Damn there is always ways somebody with a dull axe to grind! Why is it when we see such beautiful photography as Tina has shown and for the purpose we understand, we have to have some dimwit "Philip Clarke" whomever you are Sir, bring the world BS into what is a subject of photography! Philip if you have a problem take it to the UN and have them do something about it! But please don't clutter our screens with your inane nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with photography. Besides we have the LUG Forum for you to say whatever you wish. Thank you. Now do please go away or let us know how you make out discussing this situation with the United Nations Council!
