It’s an interesting world and one which does have some parallels to comics, in that it’s a creative pursuit with an industry that has its own set of rivalries and politics. Some of you may even remember my photography website, which sadly no longer exists, but gave me the media outlet I needed to shoot a few concerts back in the day.

Can he do the job while staying true to his beliefs? Are his beliefs as important as he thought, or is it just the set of rules he’s used to? The Photographer’s Life (A Personal Story and Photographic History Lesson)Ībout fifteen years ago, I got very interested in photography. He’s in a race to finish his assignment and the shot list they gave him, all while navigating the politics of the situation and the journalistic ethics he’s accustomed to. (I also suspect it ties into the opening of this book, which is the biggest open loop of the book.) There’s one he meets near the end that I think will prove to be the major personal story for John in the second book. He sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the locals, has to navigate the new world he’s visiting, and makes friends with an assortment of locals. John gets the job, but is immediately a fish out of water. The goal is to create pictures that show the desperate situation there to spur on public support and government funding for those in need. They’re looking for someone to cover the Dust Bowl situation amongst the farmers in Oklahoma. During the Depression, he applies for a job with a photo agency run by the federal government. John Clark is a young newspaper photographer in New York City.
