|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Evidence of my Existence Pete Souza, Photographer Athens | OH | USA | Posted: 9:44 AM on 11.07.07 ->> If you're looking for a great book to read, pick up a copy of Jim Lo Scalzo's new memoir, Evidence of my Existence. Lo Scalzo is a staff photographer at U.S. News & World Report and, as you'll discover in this book, is a great writer. Anyone who aspires to travel the world as a photojournalist should read this book. It is at times a laugh-out-loud read and at-times a sobering account of the personal pitfalls of leading this kind of life. It is also a good book for students as Jim details how he got access to some very closed groups of American society––the Mennonites, the Navajao Nation, and the porn industry (really).  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Now the Hopis and the Acomas, they are. Navajos? I rarely have access issues on the reservation - I actually have more problems with the city cops here in town. Sure, there are some people that do not want to be photographed, and they sometimes will claim for religious beliefs - but there is no prohibition of making images on the Navajo reservation unless the subject specifically opposes you taking images. Sometimes people will say that I can't take their photo because it will steal their soul, and then they will either wink or chuckle about it. Many of the Navajo people have a very interesting sense of humor that takes some time to get used to. --Jeff  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've been meaning to order it from amazon. I just found out about media storm this week and his video was the first I watched. His story is really interesting and truly powerful.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Add your comments...
