Yeah Kat, that McGrath is one superb songwriter isn't he - the rotten bastard *BG*
And Matt, me boy, it seems to me that you need to learn to 'look' at things. Your art teachers aren't doing their jobs.

When you look at a manhole cover you should be able to see the designer sitting at his drawing board, the pattern maker with his funny rulers that account for shrinkage in their measurements, the foundry man pouring the molten iron, the fettler removing the frills from the edges, the truck driver delivering it and the installer putting it in place. And that's just the manhole cover. What about the driver who's wheels run over it every day, or the poor sod who has to go down through it to get to work?

Now there's a photography exercise for you. Would you make it one picture, a collage or a whole gallery wall?

It's all there waiting for your eyes to uncover.

Bert.
