London-based photographer Chris Gloag recently met up with film editor Walter Murch ("Walter Just Knows Stuff") at his central London editing suite. Murch had put in a long night working on Coup 53, a documentary about the 1953 CIA-backed overthrow of the Iranian government, and he was about to go in for another shift. In between, Gloag captured some great shots of Murch in his workspace, including this issue's cover, a close-up "so everyone can look him in the eyes," Gloag says.
