Your friend looks at me like hes going to eat me,
whispered a Bedouin woman to the interpreter
accompanying NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC photographer
James L. Stanfield as he shot a 1978 story on Syria.
That intent gaze, which can fill subjects with fear and
colleagues with awe, has served Stanfield well. Add
breathtaking stamina and patience, and you get three
decades of stunning images. The pictures presented
here, accompanied by the photographers reflections,
appear in a brand-new anthology, Eye of the Beholder. ![]()
