Blog : Don McCullin

I missed this in the cinema but finally screened it last night and it's excellent. Well worth seeing. McCullin has taken many extraordinary photograhs and speaks so eloquently about his work and his experiences. Much as I admire his war photography I was really impressed by his recent book 'Southern Frontiers - a journey across the Roman Empire' in which he documents the Roman ruins in the Middle East and North Africa - the remnants of the most southern outposts of the Empire. Looking at the pictures makes me want to go there myself. Sadly, it's probably not the time to be visiting Palmyra in Syria nor Leptus Magna in Libya.
