Society & Culture
This podcast I was fortunate enough to talk to Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer José Galvez. In my opinion José is a legend in the Chicano Community. He’s been around for a very long time giving speeches at many universities around the country & taking numerous iconic photos. Since the late 1960’s José has used black & white photography to document Chicanx/Latinx life in the United States. Galvez’s photographs have been exhibited in many museums including the Smithsonian. It was cool to listen to a veterano in the game talk about the state of the country right now. He gave some great advice for people coming up in the photography game & what it means to be in the moment as well as be behind the camera. José is currently living in North Carolina but used to live in Tucson. He said he might come back to live in Tucson, let’s hope he does! This was my very first over the phone interview & I hope you enjoy it. C/S
