Photojournalist Harry Benson Shares Personal Thoughts and Memorable Moments in History on Kingston Technology’s ‘Icons of Photography’ Web Site
"Being a member of Kingston's `Icons of Photography'
means I have the support of professionals I can rely on to answer any questions
I might have," said Benson. "It seems rather apropos that Kingston
would take it one step further and develop a program that allows photographers
from around the world to ask questions and seek advice from us. Being involved
in this way brings my career full-circle as it allows me to share my life experiences,"
added Benson.
The interview marks the second in a series called 20 Questions which gives site
visitors an up-close-and-personal look at some of the world's most respected
photographers. Kingston encourages photographers who visit the `Icons
of Photography' microsite to take an active role through features including
Ask the Icon, which gives photographers an opportunity to pose their own questions
and Critique My Image, which invites photographers to submit a photo to be constructively
critiqued by one of Kingston's Icons.
Benson has photographed every U.S. president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George
W. Bush. In addition, he went on maneuvers with the IRA, was in the room with
former President Richard Nixon when he resigned and was next to Coretta Scott
King at her husband's funeral.
