Things were happening in the sixties, so I call myself Lucky Jim.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBarnor's photographs have been described as \"slices of history, documenting race and modernity in the post-colonial world,\" and he has been the subject of several major retrospectives over the last fifteen years.
