    "Probably in 1931 or 1932 I saw a photograph by your father of three black children running into the sea, and I must say that it is that very photograph which was for me the spark that set fire to the fireworks...."

    As usual, I've reacted like a pedant, and have not reacted to the images....what do we think of them? (Slinks out so he won't have to go first.)
