Shaw gave advice to photographers on photography (he was a fanatic for "scientific timing" in the darkroom) and to printers on printing. He instructed Poet Laureate Robert Bridges about phonetic spelling: "If we do not spell words as they are pronounced, our readers will pronounce words as they are spelt." And he lectured practically everybody on love...
...another sad preoccupation. "Successful suicide," Greene writes, "is often a cry for help that has not been heard in time." With some slight prurience, he describes his schoolboy attempts to cut a vein in his leg, swallow deadly nightshade berries, handfuls of aspirin and, finally, a draft of darkroom hypo-all with no serious results.

His wife Hilla, a trained studio photographer, acts as bag boy, lens handler, bookkeeper and darkroom technician. Together, they have dedicated themselves to recording what they call the "anonymous sculpture" of the Industrial Revolution. In the past few years, their photographs have been displayed in museums in Germany, Holland, Denmark...
