“News from the Front” – photography and essay by Philip Deitch, CDFT (online exhibit)

“News from the Front” features photographs of front-line workers during the pandemic taken by Philip Deitch. In addition, Mr. Deitch shares a tribute to the late Sr. Antona Ebo, FSM, an activist who was one of the five “Sisters of Selma” and a handful of photos of her.

PHILIP DEITCH has regularly volunteered his time, energy, and photographic services to causes he is otherwise concerned with in addition to documenting diverse aspects of daily life including both people and places. His photos and videos have been used by over 300 not-for- profits and community-based organizations in a variety of ways. These have included newsletters (print and online), websites and social media, annual reports, brochures, posters, flyers, and mailings and in presentations at museums, community awards programs and banquets. They have also been seen in books, newspapers, magazines, documentaries, and movies including on PBS. Philip has also grouped his photos and personal reflections into educational talks and articles on important moments in history. His collection now includes over 250,000 images including many unique moments captured due to his being the only photographer allowed to be present.
