This is interesting because he is dirty old Bill woman from the Rolling Stones? Dirty, because he took a 13 year old girl, but everybody seems to ‘understand’ that.
Would be useful to learn about the costs. You shouldn't be "coy" to mention the cost if you are ashamed of how much you ask for the service rendered. No one wants / thinks they will use such residences for free. Surely!!
I once saw Michael Atherton interview Shane Warne and he said that when you retired from cricket you didn't take up photography , you took up golf which is very competitive ! One suspects that Atherton has never met Don McCullin !
Great great great interview! Michael is so right that one needs to be honest to its creditors. Also the fact that he is smart enough to understand the consequences of Brexit.
What a remarkable man, what a remarkable life! I have admired his work and what drives him for decades. He says he’s uneducated but I beg to differ, many, not all, so-called educated people are far less cultured than Sir Don. (And amongst those I would include Andrew Neil who, I believe, as editor of the Sunday Times was foolish enough to terminate Sir Don’s contract.) I saw an exhibition of Sir Don’s at the War Museum in Manchester about 20 years ago and two exhibits come to mind: a huge close-up portrait of an elderly white-haired man (Vietnamese? Korean?) as I went in, and the Nikon F camera that stopped a bullet. I have a snapshot of that camera, very sobering to say the least. I would add that his book, Unreasonable Behaviour, is well worth reading. The stories he tells and the insights he offers are fascinating. He is known for his war photography, but he is so much more than that, I think he hates war and he hates warmongers. He deplores violence and killing even a moth, he frees trapped spiders, this is very much the mindset of Erich Fromm, understanding the difference between having and being. A very generous empathetic mindset. As he says, as soon as one war ends, another is waiting in the wings. Doesn’t that encapsulate very concisely so much of what is wrong with this world? It is powerful insights like that that come from living the life he’s lived, not going to college.
I once had to take a PR photo at an awards dinner of an impossible thing to photograph successfully (two men in dark suits, in a dark dark space, handing over a ceremonial peppercorn of all things) while Sir Don was seated at a table behind me as a guest of honour. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. Perhaps I should have asked if he wanted to have a go.
Like Don, I have had to adapt to continue taking photos as I have grown older and it is frustrating that we cannot do what we once could in our youth . However , the wisdom we acquired to get here is something I would have loved to have had back then , but it does not trump all those youthful abilities our younger selfs could do with ease.
As a child I read this Dutch roman called Bougainville written by F. Springer. One of my favourites! Then when I lived in HK during the 90s, Tim was often in the news due to Sandline's involvement in Bougainville. God, he must have sooo many stories to tell. He was once on HARDtalk. Anywhere I can find that interview?
Stefanie Powers is such an amazing woman - thank you for showcasing her true spirit! I’m going to go back and listen to your other podcasts, but I’m sure this will be my favorite one❤️❤️
