Making point with his hair

By Jim MacMillan

I can’t find the story now but I photographed this guy in 1998 as he went to federal court in Philadelphia after his high school had demanded that he cut his hair for the safety of others. In this moment he had invited reporters to touch his hair.

From 1984 through 2006, I worked as a full-time newspaper and wire service photojournalist, primarily in Boston and Philadelphia. Since then, I have focused my efforts more broadly across independent social media journalism, journalism education, and the study of trauma journalism, multimedia reporting, and the development of sustainable economic models for the future of journalism. Most of the photos from Philadelphia were taken while working for the Philadelphia Daily News. Photos from Iraq were taken while working for the Associated Press.
