The best thing to do to put a link in a comment like that is to click on the "Links to this post" in the post you want to link to, copy the resulting code, and paste it into the comment, like this <A HREF="http://www.woolamaloo.org.uk/2007/06/photography-then-and-now-in-among-all.htm#links" REL="nofollow">T h e Woolamaloo Gazette</A>. Voila!

Bizarrely he took that on June 8th 1972 and his Paris pic on June 8th 2007... <BR/><BR/>The fact a photojournalist who covered that awful war and took one of the iconic images of the last century is now having to cover spoiled socialites going to jail probably says more about the decline of civilisation than I care to think about...
