#1050 - Don McCullin

“Perfection - you are striving towards the perfect print. In the darkroom, you can almost hear the applause, the accolade of this perfect print. If I know that I’ll be printing the next day I go to bed at night worrying and sometimes I'll actually scan the negative in my imagination whilst I’m lying in bed”

 

~ Don McCullin

To say that Don lives and breathes photography is somewhat of an understatement. It is his oxygen and has been his complete way of life now for close to 70 years. He found his true calling early on in life really by accident but has managed to sustain it through sheer hard work and dedication to his craft as you can sense through his words here. The English countryside has aways been a source of solace and inspiration and his landscapes are unlike anyone else's.
