[Leica] URL: Don McCullen

[Gerry Walden]

I watched Don McCullin on BBC4 and there is no doubt that he has a great eye but it is no good, I just cannot warm to the guy at all. I am afraid I regard him as a self-promoter and feel he often exploits his subjects (but then I guess all street photographers do to a greater or lesser extent). I met him once at a RPS lecture and book signing.
