Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Even from a distance of 50 years, his recollections retain a starstruck tone: "The beating of my heart went into overdrive .... Her wet skin glistened. Her eyes sparkled .... As I shot, I was sure that the pictures I was taking were going to be beautiful and unforgettable." Indeed, the book is at its most eloquent when it lets his pictures do the talking.
Containing close to 100 previously unpublished photos, it is available in a limited edition of 1,712 copies.
