Don McCullin Audio Slideshow on the BBC – Shaped by the War
Written by duckrabbitDon McCullin is not only a great photographer but he’s also a great talker. I caught him this morning on the BBC’s TODAY programme. It was a powerful listen. Important too to hear a photographer talk about the cost to his mental health of the work he does. The BBC are hosting an audio slideshow:
Don McCullin is one of the world’s most acclaimed photographers, whose thought-provoking images have helped our understanding of modern conflict and its consequences.
To mark his 75th year, Imperial War Museum North in Greater Manchester is showcasing his work.
From Berlin, to Vietnam and Cambodia – take a tour with him.
You can also see an audio slideshow of duckrabbit’s David White on the BBC here.

A really nice piece, held up by McCullin’s honest interview. They used sound and archive reportage very well – another good example of the power of audio slideshows in illuminating the past?
worth checking out this interview with him as well – it was part of an exhibition of his England work at the National Media Museum last year http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk/donmccullin/video.asp
