This is probably posted in the wrong place, not sure where links to interesting websites should go?

But here is part of an interview of someone I have admired immensely and he is the reason I wanted to become a photographer.

Sincerity, empathy, humility- Don McCullin interviewed on Sky. Not a great interview- and very short- but still inspiring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HuAsHbFu4o

I have been lucky enough to be in the same proximity as him twice. Once when I worked for The Indi. just after college and again at The Front line Club in London. He was sitting with Philip Jones Griffiths, another person I admire too. I know it would have been embarrassing to express my admiration of his work and attitude to photojournalism. Not something I have ever done before but I am sure something he get often. But both times I wished I had done so.

Just a thought, I hope not too out of place.
