If any of you are going to be in the Provo/Salt Lake City, Utah (USA),
area in the next couple of months, I highly recommend the "From
Daguerreotype to Digital: A History of Photography" exhibit at the
Harold B. Lee Library on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo. I
attended it today an really enjoyed it. It was informative, very
educational and very well presented. I was not aware that there had been
so many different ways of taking and processing photos. My only
complaint was that there was not a pamphlet or brochure of some kind to
help me remember the things that I learned.

On the way back to my car I passed through the Harris Fine Arts Center
and enjoyed a delightful but small (16 photos) student photo exhibit
called ". . . and then the cops came." The exhibited photos each had an
accompanying story by the photographers of their encounter with the law
while they were taking the photograph.

Sounds interesting. I'd love to visit the beautiful state of Utah again; but,
alas, I don't expect to be there anytime soon.

I suppose it's reassuring that that exhibit was small!

Sometimes that's the only choice you have.....The assumption is that they
(the shopkeepers) will pass it along to the owners of the mall and more care
will take place in the future when hiring and/or instructing the
rent-a-cops. It is frequently the case that the only power I have over that
kind of stupidity is to refuse to spend my money with the
shopkeepers.....When I lived in Menlo Park, California I got a ticket one
night while on my way to work by a team of cops who were running a little
scam designed to entrap people like me who were on their way to work. I paid
the ticket, (I had little choice) but then I refused to spend a dime with
any of the Menlo Park shopkeepers for ten years after that, and I loudly
told everyone there why I did so. I also wrote letters to the local
newspapers and related my story there too. As a matter of fact, I have a
long list of people with whom I refuse to deal because of those kinds of
transgressions in the past. That's why I can say that easily the worst
retailers I have known in my entire life have been banks.....Almost every
bank in town is on my list.....:^)

So the news web site publishes the photo so all the paedophiles can download
a pic of a little kid all rugged against the cold English weather and
enjoying himself on a train ride.

I wonder how much the news web site paid for the photo.
