Tempus fuggit certainly!

He says from a position of far far greater age.

Yup; he challenged one and that's what all greats do.

By way of contrast: look for the works of Markéta Luskačova who still represents the same tradtion as the earlier Picture Post snappers. That's what Martin was breaking away from, whilst retaining the humanity.

Whilst I freely confess I didn't then much like the style of his pictures he was a great photographer in much the same compassionate tradition as the documentary snappers of Picture Post such as Bill Brandt, Grace Robertson and Bert Hardy. Later, I learned to like his pictures. He'll be missed.

There are similar moments to be had, in the context or opression and political insanity, from a careful study of Peter Barkworth's rendition of "Professional Foul"

Tom Stoppard was/is grossly undervalued playwright. Sadly missed. He should have had the Nobel.

Lovely, but missing out the Karez/Quanat systems of Indus Valley Balochistan and Mesopotamia.

"Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans"
