Don McCullin



Britain's greatest living war photographer has a retrospective exhibition. Fittingly its at the Imperial War Museum in Manchester.

I remember seeing an exhibition of Don's many years ago when I was a teenager. Much of the exhibition space was dark, you turned a corner and suddenly you were face to face with this picture, enlarged about 8 feet high. Don McCullin is one of the reasons I wanted to be a photographer.
