More From Sam Abell
I Started Teaching In '76 And I'd Been A Photographer At The Geographic For Six Years. But Prior To Being At The Geographic I Was A Teacher. Plus My Parents Were Teachers And My Brother And My Grandparents. So It Was The Culture Of Our Family To Think About Teaching, To Talk About Teaching, To Talk About Teachers.

It's A Little Bit Like Talking About The Life Of Writing. The Life Of Writing May Be About Many Things, But It Always Begins With The Writer. With The Kernel Of An Idea, Or A Character, Or An Idea Or A Theme, Or Even An Outcome. But For Documentary Photographers, Photographs Begin At That Intersection Of The Real World And The Imaginative Inner World.

My Parents, Grandmother And Brother Were Teachers. My Mother Taught Latin And French And Was The School Librarian. My Father Taught Geography And A Popular Class Called Family Living, The Precursor To Sociology, Which He Eventually Taught. My Grandmother Was A Beloved One-room School Teacher At Knob School, Near Sonora In Larue County, Ky.
