Met Michael a couple of times at Beetles + Huxley Gallery in London when he was launching his "France" and "Japan" retrospectives. He is a true gentleman and always happy to share his thoughts / insights very freely.
He still shoots film - he had his 'Blads with him at the France book launch as he was just off to Japan to shoot the final photo for the Japan book.
I'm sure you'll have a fantastic event, Debbie, and like Charles, I wish I was able to attend.
