Review “…As editor of LIFE, I inspected thousands of frames shot by scores of notable photographers. I recognize a master. Here you are in the blessed, thrilling, timeless company of just such an artist with a mission and a camera.” (Dick Stolley, editor of LIFE magazine) “…Scherman is the last of a breed…Just look at that halo of light around Bob Dylan’s head. Or Bobby Kennedy, in deep thought, as he discusses strategy on the campaign trail.” (Geoffrey Edgers, arts reporter, Boston Globe) “Of all the speakers at the March on Washington, I am the only one still alive... Bless you, Rowland for being there to cover it.” (Congressman John Lewis) “Rowland Scherman takes us inside celebrity lives as if we were there with them—magical moments abound in this wonderful photojournalism book.” (Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Nancy Donahue Professor of Art, University of Massachusetts Lowell) About the Author ROWLAND SCHERMAN began taking pictures in New York in 1958.
