Better explain this for those who live outside the UK as I'm not sure how far the Dessert Island programme has travelled. In the UK we have a radio prog that's a national institution, famous people choose ten records to take onto a dessert island where they are shipwrecked. Out of those ten they select one that could not do without.

My dessert island photo is'Tomoko Uemura in Her Bath' by Eugeene Smith from his Minamata series dating from 1972. You can see this image at

This image is not one for the lounge wall but does sum up mans inhumanity to their fellows in the cause of profit against a mothers love.
