SoHo


Walking round the streets of Soho I see faces of a certain age that look vaguely familiar. Our eyes meet, and for a split second it's as if the brain is trying to see through the layers of prosthetic latex that have been skillfully applied to our young friends' faces. And in that split second of eye contact, it occurs to me that this is not only my impression, it's a two way process.

Fig Leaf

























Fig leaf from the plaster copy of Michelangelo's David in the Sculpture Galleries (Cast Courts) of the Victoria & Albert Museum, kept in a glass case on the rear of the statue's plinth, hence the reflection of me, so not a 'selfie' as such. 
The plaster copy of David was given to Queen Victoria by the grand duke of Tuscany, but she immediately donated it to the V&A.
