Korean Abolitionists of Three Generations: Yoon, Sung and Choi
A grandmother, mother and soon-to-be mother---all at the forefront in providing care for Korean and other immigrant victims.
Devika Bhise: Another NY Abolitionist
I knew Devika as an uncommonly precocious little girl, and was happy to meet her again yesterday as a vibrant young woman and accomplished actress enjoying a sky-rocketing career. I am so pleased and proud that she is being featured and honored as a New Abolitionist. Even as a high school student, Devika sought to understand and document the broken lives in India's red-light districts--visiting there again and again in person, with her camera, her notebook and her heart.
b Michael and Mark-Anthony Edwards: New York Abolitionists
Such a pleasure to meet these extraordinary men and photograph them as New York Abolitionists!
Pathfinders Justice Initiative
Just met the most amazing woman, who is signed on to be one of New York's New Abolitionists. She recently launched "Pathfinders Justice Initiative" and is spearheading activism efforts in her home country, Nigeria, to secure the release of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls.
Water Splinters
I returned many times to this water fountain next to the hospital in Houston where my father was having triple bypass surgery. Water, like life, can splinter.
Caught Red-Handed
What one comes across in the street puddles of New York City is often surprising.
Waterpainting in the New Fountain at the Met
I went to see the Garry Winogrand show at the Met today. Extraordinary. Resolved to turn to street photography in earnest, given that the great theater of NYC is right outside my door. I especially liked Winogrand's succinct explanation for his art: "I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed."
It was also lovely to see the newly refurbished fountain, trees and rest area recently unveiled in front of the museum. The fountain area is large--easily millions of dollars' worth of real estate---but it reminded me again of how we treasure the spectacle of water. As I photographed the fountain's shimmery surface, I was eager to see what it would look like photographed.
The Life and Death Adventures of Rat and Indigo Bunting
Channeling the dark side of E.B. White, I want to make a beautiful book illustrating the adventures of these two mounted creatures, using the pen name I.B. Black.
