I think that the interview between John Tusa and Don McCullin<\/a> was first broadcast on Radio 3 in August 2002, so I’m not sure why it should surface again as a news item on Photo District News last week – or why they should write “John Tusa<\/strong> recently interviewed McCullin about his work, his anger, the public nature of grief and more.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That said, it’s worth listening to – or reading the transcript – again, as McCullin has a few things to say and talks very honestly about his feelings and how vital they are to his photography.<\/p>\n

There are several other interviews with McCullin on the web, including one in 1987 with photographer Frank Horvat,<\/a> which has the advantage of including some of his pictures, and another from 1995 on Zeugma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His pictures are not particularly well shown on line, though you can see a miserly few at the V&A <\/a>and a small and relatively recent set from Darfur<\/a> where he went for Oxfam on the BBC, first shown in 2007 – and there is also a short video <\/a>on which he talks about them.
