A more interesting programme that I thought it would be ....

Thought that the first part about the camera obscura was absolutely wonderful, remember seeing it done before by David Hockney(I think)in a programme about renaissance art. Was that church the one in Don't Look Now?

Enjoyed that, nice to see photography on tv
I also remember the hockney program, wasn't he trying to draw classic art by using the obscura device?

Yes, I think that's it, been to Venice and fell in love with the place, something worth photographing round every corner.
