“Every picture after 72, I have seen pre-72. Nothing new. But it took me some time to detect its death. The first person who twigged was Henri Cartier-Bresson. He just stopped”
Brian Duffy, as told to Leo Benedictus in The Guardian. If you’re in the UK, you can catch The Man Who Shot the 60s on iPlayer.

This is a personal blog for me, aiddy. Stuff posted here represents my opinion on things sometimes photo-related. I might have opinions on other subjects, and you might see them making an appearance here. I might also post stuff that isn’t my opinion, a bit like the disclaimer at the start of a Netflix movie... I work for a small software company in Redmond called Microsoft. Previously I worked for Global Graphics, Fujifilm and the University of Westminster. What you see here isn’t their position on anything, but as those companies / institutions have, at some time or another, helped keep me and the family dry, warm and fed, you might expect that my opinions would be in some way influenced. Hopefully that puts you in the picture.

Watching the prog on the telly here made me tweet... "Watching photog docu on telly (about Duffy / 60s). Depresses me. Reminds me that my mojo has sort of gone walkabout."
and then "I need some Bowie albums"
and then [quoting Duffy] "Art photography is a very, very modern idea. Look at the plug over there. I'm paying it attention. The work is the statement". Duffy..
