IRA MANDELBAUM is a noted political photographer. His photographs have also been published in many periodicals and educational publications. Born in 1931 in Brooklyn, New York, he grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He worked as a freelance photographer for approximately 25 years until deciding that the other side of photography—working in the darkroom to produce the best possible image from a given negative—was his true calling. He continues to work as a master printer in the face of the rising digital tide.view less
