I enjoyed that, it was a change from the usual questions.

I heard quite a bit of that. He sounded very confident!

Having now heard the whole episode I suppose he is justified in being confident with everything he has achieved.

Agreed.

I went to the talk he did at Worcester which @Chipper promoted on here and there was nothing fancy about it. He turned up with a box of books to flog (cash only) and his presentation. Not many photographers with his profile would do that. He's very approachable and does a lot for photography. Regardless of what anyone thinks of his photographs I think he is to be admired for that and I hope his cancer can be managed for a long time to come.

You mean you're wearing his sandals? Surely that's taking things a bit far.........
