Harry Who?

Harry Benson is a Scottish born American and has had a lifetime taking photographs. He has been in some amazing situations like the assassination of Robert Kennedy, funeral of Luther King and much more that you can see on these thumbnails. The nicest picture for me was an impromptu picture of the Beatles having a pillow fight and he was there to catch it on camera. The reason for me hearing about him was the fact that there is a new exhibition of his work in Scotland more information on which can be found here . Hopefully it will find its way down South after it closes.

Pimp that snack

An item on Gordon Ramsey's F-word program this week. Giles Coren a food critic made an gigantic Jaffa cake about a metre in diameter. It was so large he had to take it to his local Pizza place to have it cooked. He then made a orange jellly based layer and on top of that several bars of chocolate completed the monster jaffa cake. This site shows a few more of the monster creations. I imagine in the US these would be considered a regular sized snack...
