GG is sphinx-like today. We're mulling over doings in Darfur & elsewhere. Today, no comment from us but from Don McMullin, the great British photographer. "It's very difficult to talk about the Spinx because it is so well known.This is a very simple, almost postcard-like image, but nevertheless if you look into it you see more and more. It's extraordinary. This is a remarkable photograph and here it is in this album, hidden away. It deserves a better place in the world really."
