Nonsense. Neither lens nor I was cracked. It must have been a very good day, eh?
I very much admire Snowdon's photos of Tolkien. I have in fact bought paperbacks of the editions with his photos of Tolkien on them in large part because of the photos (rather than other editions). But the bit about the silence is fascinating. Tolkien of course loved the sounds of language. I wonder how much of the photos belongs to his response to the silence.
