strange bookfellows -- Mother Jones Magazine

I recently shot an assignment for the May/June 2011 issue of Mother Jones Magazine (thanks Mark!!!) of 72-year-old Bill Bennetta, a fomer journalist and biologist who runs a non-profit disecting schoolbooks for factual errors and flawed explanations. This man was incredible to work with and enthusiastically assisted me to produce some good portraits (love it when the subject is totally into the photography!). I'm so thankful for his energy and his ideas, although after the shoot i probably wore him out!

Check out the latest issue of Mother Jones, which also features one of my latest obsessions, photographer Vivian Maier (lucky me to be in the same issue!).

long live the concerned photographer

Cornell Capa (b. 1918, Hungary) died today at the age of 90. He was the brother of Robert Capa; a former Life magazine and Magnum agency photographer; and founder of the International Center of Photography; coined the term "the concerned photographer" which is the title of his book published in 1968.

from a ny times article: the concerned photographer
"He used the phrase often to describe any photographer who was passionately dedicated to doing work that contributed to the understanding and well-being of humanity and who produced “images in which genuine human feeling predominates over commercial cynicism or disinterested formalism.”
