Werner Herzog at the NFT


Werner Herzog was at the NFT on Monday night.
It was wonderful to see and hear the great poet of film-making talking in his unmistakeable way and presenting his latest documentary: ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
See it - I think it's on DISCOVERY channel (for those that have it) - It's one of his best.
No sentimentalities about fluffy penguins on this Antarctic journey, but you'll learn something about penguins that you won't hear from anyone else.

dust


I was going to finish this off... But then I thought I'd leave it like this and get on with something else.

Also at the Wallace.

Laughing Cavalier (for Dodo)


I was in at the Wallace Collection this weekend.
Always good to see the Laughing Cavalier.
