David Suchet - People I Have Shot

[thechungster]

I just saw the advert for the program on ITV 1. It talks about James Jarche, his grandfather, and during this advert I instantly saw his Leica M3. He had a 35mm Summaron with goggles as well. It's on at 10:15pm on Sunday.

Just thought I'd post this on here, might be an interesting piece of TV.

Sounds very good. I'll set the recording in a minute.
Thanks for mentioning it.

I saw it last night and it was very interesting. David went out with his grandfathers' last camera and tried to reproduce some of the pictures. He went to Merthyr and took a mining picture and one of a street in the town.
It inspired me to go to Merthyr on the bus today to take a few street pictures with my M7.

I saw it earlier today at a friend's house and found it very interesting.

Well worth seeing if you've not already done so.

Very enjoyable indeed. Suchet is a good photographer and people person too

Video can't be viewed outside of the UK. Is Suchet the same guy who played Hercule Poirot?

Indeed he is.

The programme was fun, light-hearted and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the heads up!

... and Suchet doesn't have a bad eye himself either, even though the programme was about his grandfather.

Just watched the programme and found it very enjoyable. Suchet does have a good eye for a shot. Definitley inherited it from grandad.

do a google search for a UK proxy server and watch it via that.

Your title is a real grabber.

I thought the invite to 10 Downing St for a photo shoot with the PM just goes to show that who you are opens doors that us mere mortals don't ever get a chance to do.

I thought it was a very good program illustrating that there are many fine photographers who just didn't get the acclaim that maybe they deserved.
I have to say that there do seem to be quite a few programs from the Beeb and others these days highlighting the value of photojournalism.

Between BBC2, BBC4 and the Sky Arts channels we do seem to be doing rather well for interesting photography based programmes over here.

I'd never heard of Jimmy Jarche before but was blown away by some of the pictures they showed. The saddest part of this programme for me was the fact that it highlighted the fact that photojournalism simply doesn't have the same backing and interest that it did in the days of Picture post, Life et al. But thats another discussion.

I couldn't agree more with you, Simon.
Great programme. I'm keeping it on the hard drive of my TV box, just as I have for the French subtitled film from Cinemoi, about Jacques Henri Lartigue (amazing film about a true photo genius), so David Suchet couldn't be in better company!
