I am honored to have had the privilege have to print Philip Jones Griffiths’ photographs for this invaluable documentary photography exhibition today. Thank you LIU Brooklyn campus for recognizing the importance of hosting this exhibit.
The Humanities Gallery is a work of ART unto itself.
In the photo below (l to r) are George Carrano, curator of the exhibit, Fanny Ferrato and Dick Hughes, founder of the Shoeshine Boys Project Check them out.
Fanny Ferrato, Philip’s daughter honored us by coming to the reception. She is the daughter of renowned photographer Donna Ferrato whose powerful book Living with the Enemy was designed by Philip, her husband. Donna Ferrato is also credited with many provocative and evocative photography books today. Check her website and be awed!
They are all well-worth the clicks!
