To mark the 20th anniversary
of AIDS, photojournalism Web site Digital
Journalist has published a special issue guest-edited by Vanity Fair
editor of creative development David Friend, who's also a columnist for
the site. For "Twenty Years: AIDS & Photography" -- a
project that is part online magazine, part art exhibit -- Friend collected
images and testimonials from such photographers and art world luminaries
as Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Herb Ritts, Ingrid Sischy and Nan Goldin.
Friend says he wants "to get people to look at the impact of pictures
on AIDS and AIDS on pictures. One of the main reasons (behind) the Digital
Journalist is to let people know of photography's role in changing
people's perceptions about important issues. Photography matters. And we
have links to other AIDS sites -- we're hoping that our usual viewers will
go to these other sites and learn more."
