If you know anything more about them I would like to know or I sugest you look up some of their stuff. On PBS last night there was an hour long documentary on Hansel Meith. She came to America from Germany and showed the side of the Great Depression that [agency that hired Dorthea Lang and other photographers] didn't including strikes and violent police actions. She worked for life though she didn't agree with their view and when they censored work she left. In the idealistic photographer catagory she is up there with Nacthwey in my book now. I was looking through a used book store and ran across "They Are Human Too..." a 200 page photo book by Per-Olow Anderson from 1957. It is almost a portorait book of the Palestine Arab Refugees. It isn't very deep in thought but it highlights how our view of whos land it is has changed with my generation. To keep it on topic he shot with Hasseblads and a Leica M3. Then on C-span there was an interview with 3 former white house photographers. David Hurn and two others. I have heard of David Hurn but this gave me a slightly different view of him. It will hopefully play again because it was entertaining and informative. It fills in some cracks on how different presidents control their image.
