In November 1981, I met two British journalists who made a strong impression on me then, and still do today, though both have since passed away. Bert Hardy and James Cameron worked together at Picture Post Magazine, and covered the Korean War together famously.

I wasn’t able to photograph Mr. Cameron; his agent didn’t allow me to bring a camera to our interview.
