Larry Towell on The Lens (CBC)- anybody catch it?

It was quite good. I like his use of the pano format. A staunch supporter of film too.

 

[Michel Hardy-Vallée]

Was it on TV or on the radio?

 

[Colin Corneau]

Television, on Newsworld channel.

I mixed up my time zones and missed it.

I saw the tralier a week or so earlier, and it looked interesting, but, as usual, life got too busy with other things...

one of the photographers at the paper thought it was interesting.

but I don't see when it will run next.

I missed on the show and can't find in my reading what 35mm pano camera he uses- he seemed to make quite fast exposures with no aid of a tripod.

Towell is one of the few members of Magnum I can still have respect for.

Seems you can watch the prog on the website, albeit in a very small format.

Cheers, Paul.

I saw the program and was very impressed. I thought that I knew his work, but I learned a lot more about him. I have seen quite a few of his prints first hand and I can tell you, he is an excellent printer on top of everything else.

Seems I also managed to miss the Towell twitter session! The date was wrong on the Magnum blog:
