POWER OF IMAGES
CBS Sunday Morning had a piece today about Magnum Photos. In case you didn't know, or had forgotten, back before I devoted my life to mixology, I studied photojournalism.
There have been a number of photographs that influenced me to take up that particular field of study. Stuart Franklin's photo of the student in Tiananmen Square in 1989 is an example. And I am constantly impressed by the strength of a single still photograph to convey so much. Some of the photos taken on 9/11 in New York can still tear me up. The close-up photograph of the Marine in Fallujah taken by Susan Meiselas is currently getting a lot of attention.
Maybe someday I will use my training for something besides sending pictures home to Mom.
