    Just in case you havent seen this yet or maybe want to see if again. Everyone whose seen this documentary has been singing praises about it. It was originally aired in December of 2009

    In 1968 Jim Sugar spent three months in Ireland capturing the people and places of Ireland for a National Geographic feature article published in 1969. Thirty-four of those images appeared in the final article but over 10,400 images were actually taken. The Jack Lynch photograph and others were unearthed in the course of making a television documentary called Summer of 69 about the original National Geographic article produced by RTÉ Cork.

    I saw that last time. Not bad at all. Shows more about his attitude to people and photography. It is people photography - the most interesting photography.
