What is an emerging photographer — wait, I hate that expression. What is a rookie photographer to say when someone of Eli Reed’s stature tells him that it is time to put out a photography book?
Eli, by the way, is definitely in the big leagues. He has been with Magnum Photos for 30 years, has published two critically acclaimed books “Beirut” and “Black in America”, and he is a professor of photojournalism at The University of Texas at Austin. A retrospective of Eli’s career will soon appear from UT Press.
