Lynton Diggle spent almost 25 years working as a cameraman and director for Government picture-makers the National Film Unit. Diggle's rich career has seen him shooting in Antarctica, in the waters of Lake Taupo, and with Lawrence of Arabia director David Lean.
I always regarded documentary filmmaking as a very privileged occupation. Working in the Arctic and Antarctica, plus around the Pacific basin and New Zealand, and actually being paid to do so was a fantastic life.
