Thanks for your comments, R... though yours are about movie makers rather than stills photographers (see my post about film-makers in films here: http://barnflakes.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/top-10-films-about-film-making.html).

POKE ya mom? Sounds very dodgy.

Yeah, I knew that. It’s all voyeurism in the end. Peeping Tom is a still photographer as well, if I remember it correctly. R

Somers Town directed by Shane Meadows is my tuppence worth Barnaby.
