We listened to this, including my sister, who is on holiday with us at the moment. An interesting insight into the man behind the pictures. Good preparation for when we take my sister to the exhibition, which is still on until the 12th.

I would have missed this entirely if wasn't for your post, so much appreciated.

Agreed!

Thanks Ed.

Enough to bring tears to the eye, & as ever with McCullin it's the straightforward honesty of the man, allied with the bravery & passion of the photos.

I lost the following vid & have just re-found the link (interview with him at Arles 2016):

And let's not forget his late contemporary Philip Jones Griffiths, a trained pharmacist who also went to Vietnam as a photographer & took an interest in the after-effects of Agent Orange ...

We are a horrific race in many ways - but thankfully we can also be beautiful. But there's no easy path.
