Two cameras pointing in different directions
In one of the most pointless artistic endeavours of all time, photographer Andy Gotts has created an exhibition based on that tedious film buffs' parlour game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Gotts spent 90,000 notes on this vanity project. So, he met and photographed some film stars? Wooooh!
Meanwhile, back in the real world, photojournalist George Azar has been capturing scenes from everyday life in Gaza, depicting the time in between the 'news events' that have made this small strip of land one of the most infamous and hotly contested of our age. It is to be hoped that 'news events' become less frequent and the everyday more commonplace.

I read this article too. It was for a charity to raise funds for diabetes research. So its not at all 'pointless' as money raised from the sale of the book will end up helping.
Ah yes, it was for charidee, that makes it alright. Shit, my brother has diabetes and I would love a cure to be found ASAP. Doesn't mean we have to put up with this ego wank. Each of the actors could just as easily spend 10 seconds of their next interview asking people to donate money to diabetes research. Or maybe some of the corporations that go to great lengths to avoid paying taxes (see, for example: http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1562650,00.html) might face up to their responsibilities so that more public money would be available for things such as diabetes research.
