Overview

A photojournalist records history in the making and captures the human experience around the world. Photographer Ed Kashi’s passion is long-term documentary projects that immerse him in issues that need attention or people’s lives whose struggles warrant concern. He has had a lengthy and varied career with National Geographic and other major magazines, traveling around the world to tell visual stories. Kashi’s archive, now housed at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin, houses many of his personal memories and the experiences attached to the creation of those images. More than a simple repository of images, the archive is a growing, thriving, and continually evolving organism, a living library with immense value. Through his photography, Kashi has had an intimate, front-row seat to witness and record major events in history. His work has been a passport to worlds unseen, unveiling issues that need illumination, documenting history in the making, and capturing the human experience and the many awe-inspiring places in our fragile world. A Period in Time is a testimony to some of Kashi’s most memorable stories-people he has been privileged to observe and learn from and the places and narratives that have shaped his life, all captured one moment at a time.

Reviews

Ed Kashi is intelligent, brave, and compassionate. He always understands the nuances of his subjects. He fearlessly goes where few would venture. And he sympathetically captures the soul of each situation. --David Griffin, former director of photography, National Geographic We are history, Ed Kashi tells us. The energy and empathy that every single photograph in A Period of Time transmits is the fruit of the artistic and ethical rigor of the author, who for forty-five years has celebrated the human potential even of those who live on the margins of society. --Chiara Mariani, director of photography of Corriere della Sera
