I'm always looking for new ways to photograph the statues in our main
street here in Ballarat: 2 from last week.

and here are "straight" views of the same

I'm always in two minds when taking "art". Usually I feel the photograph
is not my "work" but rather down to the skill of the artist, and I'm just
reproducing it, even if I in some slight way am "interpreting" the work.
I'd be interested in views: Kyle in particular hangs around with artists;
what do others think of photographing "art".

Cheers

Alastair (who is waiting now impatiently for an MRI to be done: what is
happening at the hospital?)
