Today I am talking with Seamus Murphy, who is an Irish photographer and filmmaker. He has numerous books, including photography of Afghanistan, Russia, America, and Ireland. He has a book of poetry from Afghanistan. He has worked with P. J.

Harvey, the British popular music star on two albums, including on Let England Shake. He does film as well. He's a hard person to summarize because there is, in fact, no one else like him, and he grew up in the Dublin area. Seamus, welcome. Thank you.
