[Pesty]

Hi,

Sorry details are a but lacking but just as I was going out while waiting for the mrs and flicking through channels, I started watching an interesting programme on photography.

There was a bloke talking about early New York crime scene photgraphy and I was really fascinated. It may have been my imagination but I thought he said me made a book about them. was rushing around at the time.

Did anybody else see it?
