Ed Kashi’s retrospective book A Period in Time: Looking Back while Moving Forward, 1977–2022 has been released by the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin.
“When I first fell in love with photography, I had a deep desire to tell stories that could have an impact on both individuals and the greater good. I wanted to produce stories that would contribute to positive change in the world. But what’s truly captivating about being a visual storyteller is the privilege to learn about the world and observe individuals who are doing inspiring acts or living through traumatic and trying times.”— Ed Kashi
In his Introduction, Kashi reflects, “Photography is a kind of diplomatic 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. I’ve witnessed too many powerful moments to recount them all. This book is a testimony to some of the most important stories I was motivated to pursue and dedicate myself to. My life has been shaped by these stories, the people I had the privilege to observe and learn from, and the places and narratives that have shaped who I’ve become.”
