Timeless - Librado Romero

One of our major focuses here at the Photography Program is the history of our craft, an upcoming series in Lens, the New York Times photography blog caught our interest this week.  It is a series of articles and images done by Librado Romero, read the quote below by Romero himself to get a feeling for what this series is all about:

"Over the next 12 weeks I will examine some of these images I cherish most – ones big and small in scope, but all enormous influences on my work. In some cases I will revisit the scene of a photo; in others I’ll discuss the story behind the image and why it proved so affecting to me. In all I hope to convey why certain photographs leave a lasting impression on my psyche."
