It's not about the covers ...
OK ... I recently blogged about my heistation to judge the "Africa" issue of the most recent Vanity Fair magazine, guest edited by U2 frontman Bono. I just picked up my copy after seeing it on the newstand for the past few weeks. Screw the covers ... there are some very informative and important articles within the magazine itself. I was very pleased to see a wonderful photograph of one of my favorite artists Cheri Samba who hails from Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo) where I served in the Peace Corps. I was priviliged to see some of Samba's work shortly after I returned from the Peace Corps in 1991 in New York city at the Museum of African Art. If you had doubts about the "Africa" issue of Vanity Fair like I did, rest assured it's worthy of the hype.
