That''s a very good write-up about Hurn.  I'll be checking out the exhibition some time next week.

Hi Peter

Thank you for posting - just watched the Larkin documentary - really interesting. And this from somebody who doesnt like poetry or Hull!

There's a book of his photography as well. I've just bought it but haven't had chance to look at it yet.

Nice one, Peter.

I've heard of David Hurn but didn't know much about him.

I'll watch the documentary later.  Incidentally, I'm 50% with Zapsnaps insofar as I actually don't mind poetry.
