Howdy folks,

Winter issue: Photographer's Forum magazine.

A few weeks ago one of the member's announced he'd read the winter issue of 
Photographer's Forum magazine which carried a Ken Lassiter interview of Ted 
Grant. :-)  Me, the old guy. ;-)

I have just this day seen the magazine.  :-)  I'm honoured, humbled and 
elated all at the same time. Ken Lassiter who in the past edition had a 
wonderful interview with the late Sal de Marco jnr. and a year ago a an 
interesting interview with Tina Manley and in my possibly biased view ;-) 
.....done it again. :-)

His quiet subtle approach in questioning during the interview is amazing as 
you don't realize what you're saying, fortunately it appears I didn't 
screw-up my responses. :-) Hopefully if you should read the article you'll 
find the interview interesting and informative.

The photo layout and reproduction is excellent and not overwhelming, a few 
pictures here and there pulled from assignments over the years which I think 
you'll enjoy if you should read the magazine.

It isn't every day, let alone every year one is interviewed for a magazine, 
so in this case I am indebted to Ken and honoured by a moment of 
"recognition" as a photojournalist. I suppose it's more a humbling 
experience, as I've simply had the good luck, good fortune and being in the 
right place at the right time to capture the photographs I have. In some 
cases others may well have made a better shot. So be it.

But as they say.. "them's the breaks!"

For what it's worth, I feel it's an interesting read about a Leica using 
guy! ;-)
