Cameraman Richard Atkinson is an inspiration. He started as a cameraman in the 1970's, covered the end of the Rhodesian war, was in Beirut in '82 and has filmed the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. He's still going strong and loves this job.
I recorded this interview with him 5 years ago and it's still relevant and he is still working. Mr Atkinson I salute you!
