His images can be accessed here.
Another extraordinary photographer, Tina Modotti, reminds us of this bare truth….

You can read a bit about her here.
This piece is composed by Michael Nyman who also did the score for one of my favorite movies: The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, not I should add recommended viewing for everybody.
Go forth and imprint on the world.
