Penelope's Hungry Eyes: Portraits of Famous Photographers is presented at the New York Public Library by Henry Adams, author of the introductory text, Duane Michals, one of the 101 photographers featured in the book, and Abe Frajndlich, photographer and author of the book. They engage in a three-way discussion about the genesis of the book and its content, which is filled not only with striking portraits but also with personal stories about the world-renowned photographers who are captured in them. While most people know these photographers' iconic photographs, few are as familiar with the image-makers themselves. This book and discussion serve as a thorough introduction to these masters of the medium, spanning across many styles and time periods.
