4.0 out of 5 stars Great Photographer, July 28, 2000

This review is from: India (Hardcover)

Don McCullin's work is fascinating. His portraits and documentary photos are powerful and beautiful. I was moved and drawn in many times as I looked through this book.

This book, as well as the work shown in SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS, is an inspiration. I am a student of photography and McCullin's work inspires me to search for the best content I can.

Like Cartier-Bresson, Mary Ellen Mark, Eugene Richards and other great photographers, McCullin's technical skill and his vision also serve as inspiration to anyone who loves photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars India, July 1, 2000

This review is from: India (Hardcover)

So many books about India focus on one theme, poverty. Don McCullin witnesses something very different, strength!

India is a country, no matter how you photography it; it looks the same. The people, the landscape, the ceremonies, the scared cows, it all looks the same! People have always been fascinated with India and it remains very popular and exotic. Don McCullin images focus on Indians working, living, and dying throughout the country. They are without doubt some of the most powerful and respectful photographs of a people that have been taken.
