Hi,

he uses Tri-X and Tmax 3200.

There is a video called "Looking back at you" available from Amazon
which was released to coincide with the "Workers" book. It is
fascinating. There was another programme shown on BBC TV's 'Arena'
programme a few weeks ago called 'The Spectre of Hope' in which he and
John Berger discuss the 'Migrations' and 'Children' photos. Mostly
it's John Berger doing the talking, which is annoying, but the film is
interesting none the less. I would expect it to be released
commercially at some point, perhaps after the 'Migrations' tour.
