No one here picked up the story. He is a snippet from my nyiip newsletter.
Before we turn to the rundown of this month's articles, I want to take a moment to note the recent passing of Gordon Parks at age 93. He was one of the key 20th Century photographers and a notable crossover from photography to film making and other art forms. Indisputably, he was also an inspiring role model to many young photographers both black and white. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak several times, and the range of subject matter that came before his camera is remarkable. If you've never looked at his work, do so. Once I heard him discuss his very first job – a fashion shoot for a local Minneapolis department store with a twin lens reflex. He confided that he didn't know much about fashion work, but one frame came out fine and the client was pleased. We've lost a great photographer.

But it's not enough
