Mr Benson & Mr Nicholson

A day off to soak up some of the Fringe and assorted companion events. The sun shone and it was a gorgeous wander around the Scottish Parliament, The BBC garden at Heriot's and the Book Festival.

The Harry Benson exhibition at the Scottish Parliament was without doubt the highlight - so, so many unforgettable and iconic photographs from one of Glasgow's finest sons. I particular loved the contact sheet pics of Jack Nicholson - nearly every one of these shots is consecutive, yet look at how his expression changes in every one. Astonishing portraiture.
