Mandela is just the eternal man. You want that man to be around forever. It's the closest thing we have to God, I think. He's the father of mankind, almost. Anton Corbijn closeeternalfather Change image and share on social

I don't want to knock photography, and I don't feel that film is up there but photography isn't. I think they're next to each other really, you know.
