Names like HCB and Marc Riboud are on the list of credits. Exhibition is at Alliance Francaise, 1 Sarkies Road. opens 10am - 5pm, except sundays. Till 28th Jan. One can see that the lenses and styles of composition have changed over the century. The older lenses had centre sharpness, edge distortion, vignetting, you name them all. The ones in the 50s had the Golden Years look. Unfortunately, there were no pictures taken during the WW2 years exhibited - where have all the photographers gone? Dan K.
