I hate the reason for the war photographs/photographers. But the emotion and stories that each photo shows are often incredible. Don McCullin is another. His photos made a massive impact on me at college. Sadly, family pressure and lack of tutor support meant I never studied photography - let alone got to do 'social' photography (I'm not daft enough to think I could ever get to do war photography)slowsider wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 8:14 am Tim Page, war photographer

Their lives would have been impacted as much as (if not more) than many of the military as they saw different things and often were famous for images that affected them more than anyone could know
RIP Mr Page

So I broke into the Palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said, "I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said, "That's nothing, you should hear me play piano"
