Going to Venezuela on February 25th for an exhibition, lecture and photo workshop  at Roberto Mata’s photography school. Stella Kramer, the Pullitzer prize winning photo editor will be teaching the art of the edit and speaking about her work – Stella worked for the NY TImes during 9/11 editing film brought in by ash covered photographers, she worked for Life, Newsweek and so many other important mags. I will be recounting stories about photographing the punks, mods, hip hop, rockabilly, East LA gang,  and other scenes that are in the exhibition – as well as teaching students how to photograph on the street and ‘keep it real’.
