PhotoCircle Happenings: Studio Shots
Check out these amazing studio shots taken by Richard Babcock at our last photo circle. It’s a unique point of view — photographing the photographer. Many of us take photos because to avoid being in front of the camera, so these shots are even more special. Come join us next time! 
Truth-Out: Photojournalist David Bacon talks about his book “Illegal People”

David Bacon’s “Illegal People: How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Immigrants” is yours, shipped directly from Truthout, with a minimum one-time donation of $25, or a monthly commitment of $10 or more to Truthout “Illegal People” demythologizes the “immigration” issue and champions the dignity of people seeking work for survival while detailing the need for economic justice.
Mark Karlin: Isn’t the “immigration” debate in the United States really just a coded way of saying, “keep brown-skinned people from Mexico and Central America out of the United States”?
David Bacon: There’s certainly that exclusionary aspect to it. Immigrants coming from Mexico, Latin America, Asia and Africa have always been treated differently from those from Europe.
