John G. Morris ~ Arguably the Most influential Photo Editor of the 20th Century

John G. Morris brought us many of the images that defined humanity, from photos of the London air raids and the D-Day landing during World War II to the assassination of Robert Kennedy. He worked with some of the greatest photographers in history including Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and W. Eugene Smith. A firm believer in the power of images to educate and persuade, Morris nevertheless warns of the tremendous threats posed to photojournalists today by increasingly chaotic wars and the growing commercialism in publishing, the siren song of money that leads editors to seek pictures that sell copies rather than those that can change the way we see the world.
