Amazing documentary on BBC4 the other night about the acclaimed photographer. Not sure what it was called, but there is also a documentary that was on general release a few years ago that is even better and I'm planning to get the dvd of that. Amazing man. Lost his job on [I think] the Times when Murdoch bought it. Too socially aware unfortunately.

Fantastic photographer some of his images would make you weep they are so powerful.I saw the documentary that was on cinema release a few years ago and it was brilliant .Well worth seeing ,war photography is not for the faint hearted but you do need a heart to show the truth .

He said in the tv documentary that he doesn't really regard himself as a war photographer. In it he went back to places he'd photographed many years ago to see what, if anything, had changed. In fact, socially, very little had sad . A bit like a photographic version on Bill Bryson's 'The Road to Little Dribbling' I guess, but much more hard hitting. Yes; I'd like to get to the exhibition, too.
