world tradeoff

Photographers all over the world are stuck at home. It may be harder for them than the rest of us, since documentary work requires travel—or at least going out. So they are taking pictures at home—see Chien-Chi-Chang's and other Magnum work in National Geographic—or diving into the  archives.
    Donna Ferrato, like others, is selling prints with half the proceeds going to help in the current epidemic. As a long time champion of battered women, however, her focus is different. She is seeking donations for Sanctuary for Families in New York City. The last time her home (and mine) was so convulsed was during the terrorist attack of 9/11. But now intimate terrorism, always higher during holidays, has spiked all over the world as families ironically "shelter"—French police say calls have gone up 30 percent. "After 9/11 Tribeca came together and came back stronger than before. I am optimistic that this time we will come back even stronger but only by working together," says Donna. She is offering signed, limited editions of her Tribeca photographs for $100. Check out the collection on her website. Click print sale.
