I came across these two short video interviews via Lomography. The first is with David Bailey and the second with David Hurn.

David Bailey seems to be somewhat rough around the edges and peppers his comments with expletives. You’ve got to admire his directness. I particularly liked this statement:

“I never understand when people say I don’t know what to photograph. Just look at a concrete wall with cracks in it and you can paint for eternity. I’m never at a loss to find out what to do next. It’s all there. All you have to do is open your eyes.”

Hurn seems much more “refined”. I loved his story about the gun in the famous James Bond posters. And the statement at the very end. He’s holding a camera (I’m not sure what it is – maybe a digital fuji of some kind) and he says: “It’s a nice camera. It’s all I need – One little camera and a good lens…and good shoes.”
