Enthusiasm and Skill, a Wonderful Combination.
Had the good fortune to listen to a talk yesterday evening, 'A Life in Newspapers' given by Eamonn McCabe, who during some 40 years in photography has been a sports photographer (5 times Sports Photographer of the Year), Guardian picture editor and now a portrait photographer.
Apart from showing his own marvellous work he included images from those within his profession that he himself admires and reveres. His presentation was as fresh and as enthusiastic as if he had just started out on his career and was not only informative but hugely entertaining.
It was his sports shots and Jane Bown's portraiture that appeared every Sunday in the Observer that really got me interested in photography in the first place.
A wonderful evening and if you get the chance to attend one of his talks grab it with both hands.
