Bruce Davidson/Friends of Anton
The photograph above, as well as many other incredible photographs will be sold tonight for a great cause: Christie’s is raising funds with an auction of contemporary photojournalism prints for the three children of Anton Hammerl, a photojournalist killed in Libya last year.
Our primary goal is to raise funds to ensure Anton’s three young children’s receive the best university education possible. Anton was the family’s primary breadwinner. He had no employer and no insurance. Beyond that we want to highlight the key role that photojournalists play in bringing information to viewers worldwide and the risks they take to fulfill it. Freelancers photographers in particular often assume these risks alone. In that respect Anton’s story is emblematic of the challenges faced by the most vulnerable photojournalists.

About me
A million personalities, fit into one body many contradicting one another. That's the best I can describe myself as of right now. I'm inspired by everything around me. I'm in love with cities, ferris wheels, and coffee shops. I don't need to be around a bunch of people to be happy, my favorite moments are having intellectual life talks one on one with someone. I'm not one to change for someone, but I've influenced people for the better. I honestly believe I can change people's lives. That I may be just one voice, but my voice matters enough to make a difference. Someone has to be the change, who says it can't be me or you? Life is short, don't hold back or be scared of failing. I don't have to know you, to care about you. Everyone deserves happiness.
