I read his autobiography, got it as an e-book. It has a lot of really insane stories of what he was doing when he got the pictures you saw, but he's not very self-analytical, beyond recognising that he was a right little scrote when he was younger - if you hoped for insight into how and why people do these jobs and survive them, this is source material but it doesn't explain much directly. His relationship with his wife and family, for instance, is pretty much glossed over until you get to the point where he talks about getting a divorce.
It was interesting to read it in the context of also having read "The Bang-Bang Club", which is similarly very descriptive but is about more than one person. It was written by a survivor but some of that group _didn't_ survive, they _were_ killed or killed themselves.

Yes, loved it and I know my father would have done having been in engineering. I visited a couple of times and went to a talk given by Mike Nelson.
