In the Tribune...

One interesting item in the Tribune book section--A Hungry Heart, the final memoir of film director, photojournalist and writer Gordon Parks, of which reviewer David Thigpen says:

This retelling of his wonderful life, finished shortly before his death, is rendered with a marvelously confident and easy touch that reflects the satisfaction and confidence he earned as a barrier-smashing photojournalist, musician, novelist and film director.

As I mentioned previously, prior to Parks' death I hadn't been aware that he started out as a Farm Security Adminstration photographer, with many great images to his credit. (Here's all of his FSA images--click on "Gallery View" for more manageable browsing).
