thick skins

Sebastido’s skin is thicker than mine because of what he shoots. His is almost off the chart. In my youth, when I was assigned to shoot landscapes with people in them, my skin was thicker from being sent places I didn’t know even existed in the USA and shockingly, they were all pretty close to Washington DC. 
In 2005, I drove through the area again to see if it was as barren as I recalled, and sadly, nothing much had changed. You want to shoot poor people Tina? Go to Appalachia and if you need a photographer to point you in the right direction, go to Whitesburg and talk to the folks at Appalshop. It was started in the 1970’s.http://appalshop.org/about/
You’ll need a think skin and it doesn’t matter what color it is. You will probably look pretty much like everybody else, as most Appalachians are white.

I am astounded that nobody mentioned Sebastião Salgado.

ROTFL !!!

I swear my first impulse was to print and frame this.

Carry on.
