Put some pieces together for your own collection and when your friends are boring you to sobs with their collection of mostly repetitive travel photos do bring out your art collection.

Amongst other things it can also be good for a laugh, until you suggest that they too might try it and then leave them to flounder and I don't mean fish.

But along the way there are bound to be some who are genuinely interested and one day I'm going to put on my own exhibition, sponsored by a gallery and then let everyone turn green with envy unless they're smart enough to get in ahead of me.

Some may just like to come and have a look and I'm always happy to see those people and see them marvelling at the benefits of modern technology.
