Brilliant! Great story, great pics and the Transfiguration video is fabulous. That kind of body-painting is common now, but I imagine that was a very early example. Also, I must watch Blow Up again. I haven't seen it for about 50 years. It was a recent film when I saw it, but I remember it being ground-breaking in its style. The fashions were a bit dated in the early 70s, but if I see it again I expect to be overwhelmed by a sense of fond nostalgia.
Cheers, Dave! I need another Blow Up rewatch myself. There's something so amazingly atmospheric about the scenes in the park, with just the rustling of the leaves on the trees.
Always loved the Dormeuil cloth ads... brilliant to see these scavenged pictures too. Makes me a bit nostalgic for my previous life as a picture editor and researcher!
Yes, I remember! I always thought that was a cool occupation, and I still have that 'flying saucer and Houses of Parliament' print you gave me, back in London.

Fantastic post today. This was all new to me! Some great images.
Thanks, Stevie. I'll have to scan some more of Alec Murray's amazing photos when I get a chance.
It's extraordinary how often you seem to have stumbled, blind, into precisely the place you should be! Amazing. :-)
Yeah, and there always seems to be something nice to collect! :)
Great post and I learned something. Nice one Mr Cook
Thanks, Johnny! Glad to hear!
