A superb double portrait of actresses Tonya Pinkins and Dianne Wiest by Damon Winter, surely one of the best editorial photographers working right now. Winter, like a pitcher with two great pitches among many good ones, has a strong graphic sense and an acute eye for the telling detail, gifts he can often be seen using to excellent effect in the same pictures. This shot illustrated a New York Times article about the play Rasheeda Speaking.
Damon Winter's website is here. See especially the sections entitled "Stories."

No arguments here. I'd love to see a book of his photos.
