There was a great book about the Venus di Milo a year or two ago- all about her discovery, the apparent cover-up by French museum officials of a base that was discovered with her that gave her identity, the bad restoration in France that caused the statue (which is in several pieces) to be standing at the wrong angle... and so on.
I took these photos with my Lumix camera. It has a Leica lens. Laika was the first dog in space. Dogs In Space is an Australian film made in 1986. My friend Fiona played Barbara the Socialist. Now my friend Miss Simons lives two doors from the house where Dogs In Space was shot in Melbourne. I just sold the Dogs In Space R-rated soundtrack LP on eBay for $26.
