Last night I attended a talk by photographer Simon Norfolk who takes very beautiful landscape photos of cities and in particular of Kabal as part of a body of work on war and imperialism.
In person Norfolk was funny and often camp as he talked about his Marxist background and railed against the complacent violence that the British have used in Afghanistan and Iraq. Unlike a lot of these talks he seemed much more energised by the audience questions and was very willing to enter into dialogues.
