Description
When Hurricane Katrina approached New Orleans, photographer David G. His arresting blackandwhite photographs record the details of the disaster on both a grand and an intimate scale, at times recalling works by Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Henri CartierBresson. Living without electricity or running water and existing on peanut butter sandwiches, he nonetheless is able to appreciate the complete quiet and unadulterated starlight in a surreal city without power. Spielman is a fine art, commercial, and journalistic photographer whose images have appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers, including the London Times, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Time, Newsweek, Forbes, and Architectural Digest.

Idiot Proof : Deluded Celebrities, Irrational Power Brokers, Media Morons, And The Erosion Of Common Sense

Attribution
Francis Wheen
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Public Affairs, 2004
Description
In Idiot Proof, columnist Francis Wheen brilliantly evokes the key personalities of the post-political era?including Princess Diana and Deepak Chopra, Osama bin Laden and Nancy Reagan’s astrologer?while lamenting the extraordinary rise in superstition, relativism and emotional hysteria over the past quarter of a century. In turn comic, indignant, outraged and just plain baffled by the idiocy of it all, Idiot Proof is a masterful depiction of the daftness of our times and a plea that we might just think a little more and believe a little less. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
