Sean Connery Exposed
I was in Edinburgh yesterday for a meeting between 大象传媒 Radio Scotland programme makers and delegates suggested by the Scottish Arts Council. This was a follow-up to the speed-dating session we'd organised in Glasgow earlier this year.
Morag Arnott from the SAC had arranged a great venue for the meeting: the Royal Scottish Academy on Princes Street. We talked through the areas where we'd made progress, how we could improve collaboration between 大象传媒 Scotland and the wider arts community and even talked through some specific ideas for the future.
I have to say, though, that my attention was distracted by a portrait of Sean Connery that was hanging on the wall straight ahead of me. It had been painted in 1952s when Sean had posed as a life-model for students at the Edinburgh College of Art.
Believe me, it's hard to concentrate with a near-naked Jame Bond looming over you. I was shaken, not stirred.
