McCullin

<p>Just watched a 2012 documentary film about the life and work of British Photographer Don McCullin. Here is a link to a review of the film by <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/jan/06/mccullin-review-documentary-don-mccullin">UK Observer</a>. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, but I must warn you that there are photographs of dead and dying children, women, and men which are very disturbing to say the least. I hope some of you find it as educational as I did.</p>

<p>Thank you very much indeed. I'd like to watch the full length feature if it is available freely somewhere online.</p>

<p>Starvy, I downloaded it from a movie website. I don't think you can get it for free anywhere.</p>

<p>McCullin is a great photographer by any standard and his body of work is impressive, not in the least from a historical perspective. It has cost him a lot though like so many of them.</p>

<p>His autobiography is great, I've just finished it. <br>

There is a great little film on the Canon site of <a href="http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/Don_McCullin.do">Jeff Ascough teaching McCullin how to go digital</a>. </p>

<p>No doubt. I made the mistake of having my lunch when the segment about his trip to the Civil war in Nigeria came up....it was horrible. I think he mentioned that he was divorced shortly after that. Ian, I didn't realize he'd written an autobiography....thanks for the link also.</p>

<p>Although I respect Don McCullin for his honesty and integrity, his role in this long advertisement appeared to trade on those virtues and consequently diminished him in my eyes.</p>
