Open Skies

In the absence of anything else to shoot due to much busy-ness you get the latest object of excitement... a copy of Open Skies by Don McCullin. I think most of you will be aware of McCullin's work in war zones but he then moved onto landscape. I've been looking for a copy of this for a while now but they usually sell for daft money, I was happy to get this for 20 euros. The style he does is very reminiscent of a lot of the stuff some of my favourite blippers do (that really should be the other way round shouldn't it?).... dark brooding landscapes. I think I'll get a lot out of this book.

On a sadder note whilst I was waiting for this to load I saw on the BBC that Tim Hetherington has been killed in Libya. If you aren't familiar with his work then google Restrepo, an amazing bit of work.
