Description
In Wilfred Thesiger’s introduction to this volume, he gave rare insight into his thoughts about photography: “Though I know little about the technique of photography and am lost when someone discusses the workings of a camera or the processing of a film, I have an instinctive sense of composition. . . . Occasionally, and sometimes purely by chance, everything—exposure, focus, the magic moment, and the composition—coincided to produce a photograph which continues to satisfy me. . . . When I browse among my sixty-five albums of these selected photographs, my most cherished possession, I live once more in a vanished world.”
