I met Jarrell at a party here in Norfolk. In addition to having great style, he was super easy to talk to and I thought it would be fun to photograph him. This was my favorite from our shoot. For anyone interested, Jarrell also does some clothing design when not studying at ODU.
Farah Nosh shared her powerful photos of Iraq and Lebanon last night as part of Old Dominion’s Literary Festival which had a Peace and War theme this year. Given that I am married to one of the organizers and suggested Farah as a presenter, I had the privilege of introducing her to the crowd and also interviewing her for a local publication. The full interview is at altdaily.com. Also visit her website to see photos. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
“When we look back on Iraq, we’ll see that there is a huge part of the history that is missing,” said Nosh, the only photographer speaking this year at ODU’s annual Literary Festival. “Even with my intimate personal experience, I feel that I don’t fully know the story. I don’t think the world has the slightest sense of what happened during those last couple of years.”
You can tell she is pretty humble. She was also kind and generous with her time after the presentation.
