Don McCullin is one of Britain?s greatest photographers. For his latest project he has photographed archaeological remains around the Mediterranean. On a recent visit to the Museum, to coincide with the opening of a major exhibition of his work, Don made a personal selection of photographs from the National Media Museum's collection, revealing how these sites were recorded by earlier photographers such as Francis Frith and Maxime Du Camp.
Don McCullin: "I like this picture because it's always good to have the scale of human beings against the colossal corinthian columns. It's a little 'stagey' this picture. Nevertheless, it's got that lovely kind of feeling of the time. I'm curious about the foreigner who's perched on the column itself. Again, it wouldn't surprise me if it was the photographer who was taking one of himself."
