Ep. 31 // "The Image I Remember" w/ Marc Asnin

Marc Asnin is a documentary photographer who lives in New York City. Over the years, Marc has photographed all kinds of subjects, from the most marginizaled people on death row to his own Uncle Charlie.
In 1992, Marc was commissioned by the New York Times to photograph the Lubavitcher Rebbe and the Crown Heights community as part of a feature essay, The Oracle of Crown Heights. Just a few weeks before the stroke, Marc’s pictures are from the last and most iconic pictures of that year.
In this podcast, we discuss Marc’s first impressions of the Rebbe and the Lubavitch milieu, his reflections on that photograph and what he thinks has made it such a lasting testimony.

Wouldn't it be interesting to interview one of the hardcore traditional mashpiim like leima Wilhelm or yossi gurary or nachman Shapiro etc. and if they're too busy for you then one of the younger ones like yossi klyne or Shlomo Kaplan or shmuly avtzon. Everyone so far has left the intensity of the system, shluchim etc. it would be cool to hear someone who found their identity without having to leave the system to get there.
