Lori Grinker: 15 Years Documenting War
By Megan • Mar 12th, 2008 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)Lorraine Calvacca reports for PopPhoto:
“Five years was about how long Lori Grinker thought it would take document the stories of former soldiers; she was only off by a decade.
Afterwar: Veterans from a World in Conflict (de.MO), a 248-page collection of intimate color portraits and searing first-person accounts of postwar existence was published in March, 2005 — 15 years and 30 countries after she began the photographic odyssey.
Grinker’s timeframe was based partly on her previous long-term project, The Invisible Thread: A Portrait of Jewish American Women (The Jewish Publication Society, 1989), a six-year collaboration with writer Diane Bletter.”
