Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends

It is a huge honor, and humbling, to be included in Tim Mantoani's book, Behind Photographs: Archiving Photographic Legends. Tim photographed over 150 photographers holding a print of one of their most iconic images including Neil Leifer's image of Muhammad Ali standing over a knocked-out Sonny Liston, Harry Benson's photo of The Beatles having a pillow fight and Steve McCurry's famous portrait of the Afghan girl with the green eyes from the cover of National Geographic. Each photographer was photographed with a 20x24 Polaroid camera. This started as a personal project and grew into this book with the help of Kickstarter crowd-sourcing to print the book. Brad Mangin wrote a great blogpost about the project.
