Don is a long-time Leica user and a great photographer who was banned in 
name by Margaret Thatcher from going to the Falklands war because he was 
?too honest? and refused to have his images censored. I have met Don a 
couple of times and he is a difficult man to warm to, but this honour is 
well deserved and long overdue. A great photographer receiving a long 
overdue award.
