MEET BENJAMIN
PHILIP
He has been to fourteen countries. He has the photographs to prove it. He has filed dispatches from the barrel cellars of Jalisco, from roadside Pajarete stands at dawn, from a café where the cappuccino costs sixty-eight pesos, and from the courtyard of a 130-year-old château in Pas-de-Calais where he arrived with his luggage and raised his arm.
"He has lived the life and taken the photos to prove it. He works for us now."
