Angus McBean (8 June 1904 – 9 June 1990), was a Welsh photographer, associated with surrealism. Angus McBean was born in South Wales in June 1904. Despite the surname and the family's claim to be head of the sub-clan McBean, they had been Welsh for generations. Clem McBean was a surveyor in the mines and the family moved frequently around Wales with his job. Fascinated by the apparently magical properties of photography, Angus wanted to be able to take pictures of people and sold a gold watch left to him by his grandfather to raise the five pounds necessary for the equipment.^[1] ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_McBean
