“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures”
~ Don McCullin
Don’s words get to the core of who he is as a photographer and as a human being, a man of deep empathy for others. This image is something out of a great D.H. Lawrence novel. It is a cold winter morning, Don has driven 300 miles to a Northern Steel Foundry. He is out early with his camera, and he sees a steel worker off to start his work shift. The human condition and a masterful composition set in the industrial English landscape. One of his greatest images.
