"I know nothing of photography. An old Pentax once took good photographs of the wilder shores of Turkey for me, but, apart from pointing the lens, I played little part in what it did; a devout Luddite, to me its technology was as much a mystery as mathematics."
An unusual beginning for a review of a photography exhibit in the UK: The Heart of the Great Alone: Scott, Shackleton and Antarctic Photography is at The Queen's Gallery, SW1 (020 7766 7301, royalcollection.org.uk) until April 15, 2012.
