Very inspiring, Mark. Thank you. I’ve been on a hiatus from photographing, but this makes me want to start again.

I love McCullins work. He’s gone on the heroes journey in photography. I have "life, death, and everything in between" and "landscapes" and both are incredible. His scars come out in his work. Low key, dark, somewhat troubled even in the landscapes.

I have several of his books and the landscapes are fantastic and moody although not what he is generally known for I suppose. I just ordered the new book.

I am thinking of going to London for his talk next month.
