UK - Oxford - Photo Oxford launch - Martin Parr and John Simpson_DSC7788
Two famous people for the price of one........ Not great quality as it was shot at 6400 ISO, f2.8 with a long lens.
Both John Simpson and Martin Parr gave short speeches at the lauch of the Photo Oxford Festival. Seen here they were waiting for Richard Ovenden, head of the Bodleian Library, to finish his introductions, hence the rather casual stances.
John explained that he had just moved to Oxford that day so he was feeling rather guilty his wife and children were at home upacking boxes........
From Wikipedia : "John Cody Fidler-Simpson CBE (born 9 August 1944) is an English foreign correspondent and world affairs editor of BBC News. He has spent all his working life at the BBC, and has reported from more than 120 countries, including thirty war zones, and interviewed many world leaders.
Simpson was born in Cleveleys, Lancashire. He says in his autobiography that his father was an anarchist. He spent ten years growing up in Dunwich in Suffolk. He was educated at Dulwich College Preparatory School and St Paul's School, followed by Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he read English and was editor of Granta magazine. In 1965 he was a member of the Magdalene University Challenge team. A year later Simpson started as a trainee sub-editor at BBC radio news."
