Steve Simon, born in Montreal Canada - and now a resident of New York City is one of the busiest photographers I know. He's created an impressive body of work that can be viewed on his website, and looking at his work you'll see that he is one of those photographers that always seems to be "in it". He's a true photojournalist, and seems to be willing to put himself in harms way to get the story.

Steve has published several books, including a favorite of mine Heroines & Heroes: Hope, HIV and Africa. I had the honor of sitting down with Steve for a few minutes last week in San Francisco to record this video.

Steve is also a regular guest with me on the This Week in Photography podcast, and it was great to have this informal off-air conversation with him.
