New York, NY, Jan. 16, 2008 (American Society of Picture Professionals NY Chapter Event). Over the years, Ed Kashi and Julie Winokur have worked together on books, exhibitions and photography assignments which have taken them around the world. Their work together has also moved beyond the still image -- into video and other new interactive media.
