Lee Crowd

Tate Britain, London

Although we had timed tickets for a Monday morning, upon entering the Lee Miller exhibition we were met by a scrum just to get close enough to read the introductory text. This continued, annoyingly, throughout the otherwise excellent and well curated exhibition, breaking Miller’s career into 11 phases. As we wanted to see it all, it took 2½ hours, patiently waiting for other viewers to move on before we could stand, briefly, in front of each image.

Ship Street, Brighton

Maybe the British aren’t familiar with Trayvon Martin and how his murder was justified on the basis of Florida’s “stand your ground” law. But to American eyes this is either in very poor taste, or a call for Black retribution. What was Timberland thinking?
