Photographer Abe Frajndlich undertook to photograph the
legends within his own craft back in 1988, when he was commissioned by
Life Magazine to take portraits of the “Grandes Dames” of photography.
This soon expanded to include the “Old Boys” as well, and thenceforth
became an all-encompassing 30-year quest, requiring as much patience and
persistence as that shown by Penelope during Odysseus’s epic journey
home. The result is a comprehensive compendium of key figures in
photography from the last 50-years, grouped under a title that directly
references the Homeric flavour Frajndlich gave to his mission - Penelope's Hungry Eyes. (Taken from AnOther by Tish Wrigley)
