Shaped by War: <http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shaped-War-Don-McCullin/dp/0224090267/ref=pd_bxgy_b _text_b> "his work is the subject of a huge exhibition currently being organized by the Imperial War Museum. The exhibition will open at the museum's Manchester site in February 2010, where it will run for a few months and then open at the London museum a year later. The accompanying book will be a departure from the usual format of MCullin publishing and will be sized to match the original "Sunday Times Magazine", where so much of his work first appeared. Focusing on his important stories, the book will trace his entire career. McCullin has been interviewed on film for many hours for this project and the edited transcriptions of those interviews will form much of the substance of his text. McCullin's little known colour work will be reproduced along side pages from the magazines and an assemblage of McCullin's personal material and documents. These include his cameras, boots and helmet, numerous passports and photographs of him at work on the battlefield, together with illuminating personal correspondence." Southern Frontiers: A Journey Across the Roman Empire: <http://www.amazon.co.uk/Southern-Frontiers-Journey-Across-Empire/dp/0224087 088/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b> "His most ambitious journey has been to explore the fringes of the Roman empire. "Southern Frontiers" is divided into two parts. The first part, "The Levant", includes the ruins of Baalbek in the Lebanon, Palmyra in Syria and Jirash in Jordan. The second part, "The Moghreb", covers a sweeping journey through the North African coastal countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, where he has photographed the great ruins of Leptus Magna. McCullin's photographs, taken on a large format camera, are evocative of the views of distinguished nineteenth-century predecessors" -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
