Steve Schapiro's Book Signing

    Hey everyone!  I just heard about some exciting news: Steve Schapiro will be doing a book signing for his new book titled, Schapiro’s Heroes, on January 13th from 1p.m. to 3p.m.,  at B & H Photo, 420 9th Ave, New York, New York 10001.  Admission is free and the event is open to the public.   
    I think the book sounds extremely interesting.  Schapiro tells a story with photographs in a photo-journalistic tradition.   According to the powerhouse books website, the book also incorporates several behind the scene photographs of famous people, such as Muhammed Ali, Robert Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Ray Charles and Martin Luther King Jr., that have influenced our lives, politics and tastes over the last century.  To me, it seems as if these images are more intimate and demonstrate a humanistic side to these iconic people that we have admired for all these years.
     Take advantage of this event, by getting the opportunity to meet Schapiro and ask him a question or two.  Let me know what you think of the book.  What questions would you want to ask Schapiro?  Share you experience with fellow photo enthusiasts that might not get the opportunity to meet such a talented photographer.
