Liya Kebede and others were on hand to remember prolific photographer Gordon Parks - whom I honestly became aware of while browsing vogue.com. Certainly I have experienced his wonderful photographs in the past yet blatantly unaware of who he was.In brief, Gordon Parks was a self-taught photographer who is best known for his 20 years of work with Life magazine {he was the first African-American to work for Life}. Gordon was also an activist, writer and director - he directed Shaft!
