A Life in Pictures
One of the (many) wonderful things about San Francisco is the abundance of amazingly talented artists, writers and thinkers — many of whom I have the honor of calling “friends.” I was impressed and surprised to hear from former (briefly) San Franciscan Jennifer Whitney, who e-mailed last week with a photo essay that ran in the Columbia Missourian. Jenn’s in graduate school studying photojournalism at the Missouri School of Journalism. And while I haven’t been able to fathom the idea of living in middle America, she has taken advantage of her time there and has come out of it with some truly remarkable photos. The photo essay is an amazing piece of work about a young couple called the Silveys who are tackling raising three kids (one of them with pretty severe epilepsy) on the streets. I won’t say any more because I think the pictures speak for themselves — and Jenn’s also a great writer, so check out the accompanying article — but I really wanted to draw attention to her startling talent… More of which I’m hoping we’ll see in Ethsix’s next issue.

Amazing picture–This woman looks like the daughter of the woman in that classic Depresssion Era shot by Walker Evans. I like the modern slant on it.

Yeah, like, let’s get a cup of cocoa and curl up next to the exhaust pipe! (anybody bring chestnuts? or will this nutt on my chest have to suffice?)
