Portrait of legendary Civil Rights Era photographer Matt Herron. I
took his portrait yesterday in one of US Senate building . This man
is truly legendary figure: in 1964 he organized a team of eight
photographers, The Southern Documentary Project - to record the
social change in South as part of as civil rights movement. In 1965
year Matt won the World Press Photo Contest for his picture of a
Mississippi highway patrolman attacking a five-year-old child. He
also serving as bridge officer, navigator and photographer for the
first two Greenpeace anti-whaling voyages. He was first mate and
photographer on the Sea Shepherd's voyage to the ice floes of the St.
Lawrence to attempt to disrupt the harp seal hunt. He was arrested on
the ice and spent six days in a Canadian jail... takestockphotos.com/pages/herron.html
I spoke yesterday with Mr. Herron about investigation of the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy, coz he was one of the
first sceptic of the Oswald-as-lone-assassin theory. He began
cooperating with District Attorney Jim Garrison, who was investigating
this case and he have been in Dallas on the day of assassination and
he collect alot of material about this case. So now Matt Herron
writing a book about this. It was interesting talk - and I took his
portrait using natural light from huge window in this Senate building
with Nikon F5 and Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens. I use here
Kodak Ektar 100 film. Coz light was pretty soft I use max open
aperture to create soft portrait.
