And how was it? It was so astoundingly good that the week after >I showed my MIT Documentary Photo class the film "War Photographer," about >the work of James Nachtwey, I told them we were going from the ridiculous to >the sublime, and I showed them the Ted Grant Documentary. > >I prefaced the showing by telling them that I knew that as exciting as "War >Photographer" may have been for them, it bore little relation to the real >day-to-day world of photo journalism. On the other hand, Ted's Bravo >documentary is a lovingly produced, nuanced portrait of the life of the >father of modern Canadian photo journalism, a guy who's shot everything from >stock car races, to politics, to eye candy, to war, to sports, to surgery, >and back to the every day. And he makes it all seem so simple. > >You think you know Ted, but take my word for it - you don't know Ted until >you see this documentary. And also take my word for the fact you want to >know Ted. > >So order today! > >B. D. I can only second this. An excellent interview of a great photographer. I've looked at my copy a number of times already. -- * Henning J. Wulff /|\ Wulff Photography & Design /###\ mailto:henningw@archiphoto.com |[ ]| http://www.archiphoto.com
