Subject: [Leica] New McCullin exhibition - London

Should you be interested, and In London at the right time, there is a new 
Don McCullin exhibition at the Whitechapel Arts Centre from 25 May to 10 
June. This is new work from McCullin documenting AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa 
and is work that he did in the autumn under the auspices of Christian Aid.

Personally, I greatly admire McCullin's work and, having met him, the man 
himself. I felt he lost his way after giving up war photography and needed 
time to refocus (if you will forgive the pun.) From the three examples I 
have seen from the latest exhibition he is certainly back on target and it 
promises to be a good show. However it will probably not get the coverage 
it deserves because this is not one of the 'in' London venues.
