Don McCullin interview in Sunday Times
Vandaag in de Sunday Times een artikel over de legendarische Engelse oorlogsfotograaf Don McCullin. Dit naar aanleiding van zijn nieuwe boek In England, met foto's die McCullin in zijn eigen land maakte. Het boek ligt vanaf 8 november voor 59,95 euro in de winkel.
Enkele citaten van McCullin uit het artikel:
“I’ve often been labelled a miserable old sod, because I emotionally attach myself to the honesty of photographing wars and revolutions. But of course there is a lighter side to me. If there wasn’t, who knows, I might’ve gone barmy by now, looking at constant death and misery.”
“Photographic schools are knocking out students with degrees like sausages, and yet you never see photographers on the street shooting any more. What are they all doing?”
“I suppose a lot of people won’t thank me for this book, because it doesn’t show England as a very attractive place, really. But the fact is, I just photographed what was there. It’s the truth.”
Lees There's no place like home.
