An article on WH Auden mentioned the author’s interest in photography (Nicholas Jenkins, “Historical as Munich - Auden at 100: Who is he now?”, TLS 9 February 2007, 12-15). I would like to read more about that, and see some of his pictures; there is a resemblance between the precise literary expression, and photography.
Generally, it is interesting with a passion for photography in people that, while not being ‘real photographers’, are good at something else.
A parallel case that has been discussed recently is the photography of Sammy Davis, Jr. Here are 18 of his pictures, including good portraits of Tony Curtis and a self portrait. (Found via this thread at RFF, which also has more backround information.)
