Hi LEP, saw the update... And wanted to thank you for the extra work :-)

I went back in time and read the precedent pictures blogs (or diaries, or salon ?) to see from where we came from (I did miss a lot being out of ET for some time) !

The "salon" format (history, nowadays, klatsch, etc.) might be a good idea, as it triggers appropriate responses... I just hope the server doesn't go haywire with all that bandwidth used !

After all, we do live in a picture driven society... A friend of mine once asked me "What do we do with the artifacts of image"?... I'm still musing about it without having a answer !

 Still, photography is the "enfant du siècle" (child of the century), because of that, it's nice that ET found a place for it :-)
Next time we might chat about Capa's "Mexican suitcase" and HCB's beliefs  ?
Thanks' again ...

I'm very glad you found us margouillat. You bring a lot of life and intellect to the photo blog. I hope you can stay with us for a while. And it might be an interesting idea to have a salon format. I'll mention it to In Wales if she hasn't seen this already.
I don't know if you're aware that we are going to have our first film discussion blog on Friday, Feb. 8th. Right now we're planning a monthly film blog. The films for that first one are THE SERPENT'S EGG and CABARET. Please join us if that interests you.

When is the next one again? The one I'm supposed to be running?

I bought a new DVD of Seven Samurai to refresh my memory and it turned out to be a crappy Chinese knock-off without subtitles. And it is far too exotic for my local rental store - though I did find 'Garden State' amd 'It's all gone Peter Tong' with Paul Kaye, on Friday.

I though it was the one about the bloggers threatened by trolls...
