I had the real privilege of meeting and dinning with Jeffrey Aaronson at Santa Fe last week. Even if you are not familiar with his work, chances are you have seen his pictures. Having done many assignments for the likes of National Geographic, Newsweek, Time and Life, he has literally been all over the world photographing. He no longer takes editorial assignments, instead he has been concentrating on long term personal projects. Do check them out at his website, they are amazing. But the nicest part, was how modest and funny he is,it was a real pleasure hanging out with him.
The images below are taken form his latest project, Borderland:-
'In this work, I pursued the vernacular, the original, creating visual folktales that mirror a collective longing for a home and cultural identity. My intent was to photograph the manifestations of those within and those without.'
