The third sphinx

Back at Stills for the third of the lectures on photographic theory. An interesting talk on John Szarkowski and The Photographer's Eye although having spent the afternoon dislocating my jaw yawning, it was probably a mistake to meet Andy in the Malt Shovel beforehand. But it was interesting enough to stay awake for. Came home with some interesting books on loan from Mr Moff too, including the book of the talk and some Don McCullin landscapes.

Anyway, the sphinx ... "the Egyptian sphinx was viewed as benevolent in contrast to the malevolent Greek version and was thought of as a guardian often flanking the entrances to temples." There's one on the other side too.
