It Was Always About the Work: An Evening with Melvin Grier

By The Mercantile Library

Melvin Grier joins John Faherty for a conversation about his book, It Was Always About the Work: A Photojournalist's Memoir

In It Was Always About the Work: A Photojournalist's Memoir, award-winning photojournalist Melvin Grier tells the influences and circumstances that led him to tell stories through the camera. Over the last six decades, his work has vividly portrayed community, humanity, irony, fear, war, elegance, art, and most notably, the unexpected. With nearly 100 black-and-white and color photographs included in the book, Grier shares photos from his most famous exhibitions and news stories—images that capture the moment and so much more.
