Martin Parr in conversation with Sean O’Hagan and Kate Fox

This one will be worth going to I am going to do my best to be at this myself. It will mean getting someone to cover my class and I might even try to get my class to attend if I can. Documentary Photographer Martin Parr was inspired by Tony Ray-Jones and I think this talk will be very interesting as I think the two people in conversation with Martin Parr will be able to engage him in an interesting debate.

Details are:
