A Brave New World

How has technology changed your job?

Err, WP, heads up! You are presuming everyone has a job?

Personally, I can say the digital era has enhanced my existence. I love it. Technology per se is a challenge, though.

One of my brothers gave up his career as a talented professional photographer when ‘film’ went digital, and everyone suddenly had a camera.

My other brother was ahead of his time he would have embraced the progress. Pity he did not live long enough to see it.

Not my brothers, simply a cute pic

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

A few minutes walk from home gets me to our local station. There, I can get a fast direct train into central London in a little over an hour.

I hope to be doing this soon when Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World Exhibition opens on October 9th ’25. At the National Portrait Gallery in St Martin’s Place. ( Just round the corner from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.

Mr Beaton was a renowned British war photographer and designer.

I will be able to see over two hundred exhibits, including sketches, costumes, personal items, letters, and photographs of the likes of Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe. Plus, artists like Francis Bacon and Salvadore Dali whom highlight Beaton’s influence on fashion and design.

Excited at the prospect? Oh yes!
