McCullin the Film
Don McCullin worked for The Sunday Times from 1969 to 1984, at a time where, under the editorship of Harold Evans, the newspaper was widely recognized as being at the cutting-edge of world journalism, with Don as its star photographer. During that period he covered wars and humanitarian disasters on virtually every continent: from the civil war in Cyprus, to the war in Vietnam, from the man-made famine in Biafra, to the plight of the homeless in the London of the swinging sixties.

Tribal Music in Tanzania
In November of 2010, my father and I travelled into the bush of Tanzania to live with three remote tribes: the Maasai, the Barbaig and the Iraq.

This has never been done before and hopefully will lead on to more of these studies in the future. More…
