Inspiration

An unexpected pleasure today, the rather legendary Harry Benson was at our offices giving a talk to (inspiring the future careers of) local high school students. Funny, irreverent, genuine - sharing stories of iconic images of Bobby Kennedy's assassination, Nixon and the Beatles mixed in with Kate Moss, Michael Jackson and Brad Pitt. This pic is Harry talking about Churchill. I particularly liked his story about Princess Caroline of Monaco & her early morning photo call (tiara, diamonds & gown before 9am) - "this is how Princesses dress for breakfast".

An amazing life - part of major world events, close to world leaders, icons & stars. Proper, hardcore, unvarnished truth-telling photo-journalism. Proper old style glamour - nae computer trickery.
