I went to see an exhibition of photographers Man Ray and Lee Miller.
To my great surprise, between the stylish nudes, portraits of artists
and writers, and surrealist compositions, there was this beautiful
picture of 4 rats sitting on a stick, tails hanging down. Lee Miller
took the picture in 1931. Anyone ever seen it? Leemiller.co.uk sells a
mousemat with the picture on it, if you want to take a look.

Hi Klary.,
Had to take a look at that picture and ended up looking at the whole site.I
think black and white photographs capture 'moods' so much better than
colour.Very nice.

I think so too Sue.
for anyone who wants to look at the rat-photo but does not have the
patience to look at the whole site (allthough I do recommend it, Lee
Miller was a very talented photographer)
here is the direct link to the photo:

That's a great picture. I love black and white photography, somehow more
atmospheric than colour.
