This summer Michael Wichita of AARP Bulletin asked me to work on a project looking at homelessness in America. The basis was for a section in the magazine called Databank USA that looks at issues in the US broken down by state. But, as always, Michael was looking beyond the narrow scope of the immediate assignment to find a compelling way to visually tell the story – one of the many reasons I love working with him.

Add hundreds, if not thousands, of aptly dressed photographers to the South of France. Mix in a rather heavy bias towards wearing Canon’s latest and greatest around your neck, sprinkle in a few keffiyehs, some ego’s, a pinch of super star photographers and finally a dash of those purchasing work and you end up with Visa Pour L’Image in Perpignan.
