Lovely feature on and interview with David Hurn on the BBC site. A long read but worth it - worth it to look at the photos alone.

really enjoyed reading that, i am pretty pants with regards to famous photographers but that had me interested from start to finish

Saw that at dinner time, just got round to reading it all! A very enjoyable read, he also did a book with Bill Jay called 'On Being a Photographer' which is also a very insightful read.

I saw the earlier 'Swaps' exhibition at Photo London earlier this year - really excellent. Will hopefully catch the current exhibition the next time I'm in Cardiff. Magnum should do a book of this. 'On Being a Photographer', above, is also well worth reading

Will have to give this a read. I love the new layout in their stories where the layers roll over each other.

Where style subjugates function ...?

It works really well in my opinion.

I bet someone said that about the early illuminated manuscripts.

I attended a three-day workshop with David Hurn many years ago....... he went easy on me but was very critical about some of the other photographers' work.......

But having said that I like a lot his documentary work on Wales.
