Documentary about Gordon Parks

Here is a video about Gordon Parks “Half Past Autumn: The Life and Work of Gordon Parks”. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Parks is an inspiration to me.

Wikipedia said “Gordon Roger Alexander Buchanan Parks (November 30, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was a groundbreaking American photographer, musician, poet, novelist, journalist, activist and film director. He is best remembered for his photo essays for Life magazine and as the director of the 1971 film Shaft.”

Edward Weston Documentary Film – The Photographer

I love old films like this. Here’s one on Edward Weston from 1948. It’s a video of him at home, at work, and with his students.

It’s that old narration style of the day. That gets my attention every time. I hope you enjoy it.
