Just been listening to Max Milligan on Excess Baggage talking with Beirut hostage John McCarthy about his Lebanon project and discussing the artistic rather than a photo-journalistic motives behind his pictures. When you make pictures such as this, I’m wondering if there’s any conflict at all between the two.

Also see Robert Fisk’s article. “Max Milligan’s imperishable photographs of Lebanon – and I have to say that he has sought out things that I have either never seen or have forgotten in the 34 years I have lived here – do not avoid the war”
