...picture editor Maria Wood, and continuing the magazine's distinguished photojournalistic tradition - with a distinctly European focus. "For me the challenge was to know my magazine," says Durrant. "And to make sure the photographers understood it as well." He more than met the challenge, organizing photographs and photographers from Jutland to Johannesburg, Moscow to Madrid.
