John Phillips

You probably don't know much, if anything, about John Phillips. Indeed Google turns up only a reference to his book and an obituary in the New York Times. I'd like to make it a small goal of the coming year to set up a small website, or at least a Wikipedia entry that talks a bit about his life. He was a young Photojournalist Photographer right from the start. Photographing key moments in history during the second world war and in the Middle East. His book, Free Spirit in a Troubled World is one of the very few books I keep on my shelf. Sometimes when I can't sleep I pick it up and re-read a chapter or two. It's nice to be reminded what photography once meant to people, and he deserves a greater mention on the internet.
