David Hockney with his compact cameraI've always been a great fan of David Hockney, whether it be his art, his views on photography or his defiant defence of an individual's right to smoke if they want to. He's probably the only person in recent times who has been allowed to give a television interview in the hallowed halls of the Tate Gallery with a lighted cigarette in hand.

Watching this short slideshow about his recent work in the Yorkshire landscape and how we are in danger of forgetting how to 'look' at landscape and colour, I couldn't help but notice Hockney's choice of camera for recording snapshots of his rural explorations. Hardly what you might call a 'pocket' camera, but then Hockney does have extremely deep pockets...
