There's some really great interviews through the magnum site.
I loved the fact that he used his Welsh background to empathise with the Vietnamese. If you want a tribute to American soldiers look up David Douglas Duncan but I think all photographers have a right to show the world the way they perceive it and there is no such thing as a neutral photograph, it's just that some people think their own views are neutral or invisible, they're not..
I haver met Philip a phew times in South wales he used to visit his old friend Charles Horace Jones, I do not agree with his left wing views one jot, and had quite a few arguments with him, I also have loads of pics of him around the South Wales valleys, he is quite a tall man and must have been 20 stone back in 1992 ...
what a bloody annoying interviewer, doesn't stop butting in the whole way through.

I hope LBJ and McNamara Burn in hell for the Lie of Vietnam. I served at Nha Trang 1968-69.. The latest Lie is now Iraq.
