Excellent doc that showed off his superb photos. Wonderful working of exposure in light and in dark conditions. Very impressed with his environmental portraits.

Truly wonderful. It isn't often I watch programmes about photogs I admire and end up admiring them even more -- for their modesty, tenacity and vision. *And* he pilots light aircraft... Wonderful stuff if you can get to see it on the BBC's iPlayer.

That video was really great, and by that I mean that the photos were superb... thanks very much for sharing!

 

[Bobfrance]

Yep, very good programme and a great photographer.

Some great images, but I'm not entirely sure about his interpersonal skills..... or if he entirely explained his motivation

maybe it's a Norse thing?

Important anthropological documentary: Yes.
Gorgeous B&W photography: Yes!
Cultural-changes effects on an old way of life: Yes.

Global warming:... huh?

Hey,
I really look forward to see this documentary. Does anyone happen to know how to watch it outside UK?

For the BBC i-player, you have to log in from a UK based IP, so difficult if you are not a native (not impossible, but let's not go there!)
