Don Mcullin talking about his own images

Thank you for that.

Having read his autobiography over christmas I find it surprisingly emotional to hear his voice. I can't really explain why. His tone just conveys the sense of being haunted by the horrendous sufferings he's seen and compounds the closing sentiments of his book.

I've been very touched by his words.
 
Great advert for Nikon towards the end of the slide show, the two images of the camera with the bullet hole in it.
 
Some iconic images there, if I was closer I would definitely go and see the exhibition.

I went to see him speak at The National Media Museum in Bradford. If you think the slideshow audio was touching then you should hear him talk in public. It was a superb event, tremendously thought provoking and marred only by the fact that none of his images were shown while he was talking so you had to have a knowledge of his work.
 
Would love to go see this exhibition. I wanted to go see him talk in Bradford a few months back but couldn't make it.
 
He and Eamon McCabe left a deep impression on me.
Life left an even deeper impression of McCullin.
 
I enjoyed that, thanks for sharing
 
Some shocking shots there, dont think I could take images like that. Did well to keep his head in some of those situations.
 
I watched it.......can't speak
 
I went to his exib at Bradford Media, if you get a chance for the Manchester one,Grab it!....Mick
 
just listened to the slideshow,the humility of the man got to me.
if you see those photos as prints you may want to take up film again.
 
leecurtis Thanks for that.
An amazing man. Two books on order and a visit to IWMN when I'm up to see my daughter in Whitefield next...

going to the iws tomorrow at the quays...and yes i will be having a coffee in the lowry outlet
 
Went yesterday and had the tour around the Mcullin special exhibit with the photo curator. Its a fantastic exhibit, thought provoking and harrowing at times. Many fantastic images and covers a lot of his work not just the war images.
If you have the chance I would say go without question.
