My Bio
|
Marvin Wolf began his life in photojournalism as an Army combat photographer in VIetnam. His career took an unexpected turn when he was awarded a battlefield commision as an infantry officer, but he never stopped shooting pictures. After leaving the service he completed his college education, then taught photojournalism parttime while accepting assignments from a multitude of magazines and corporate clients. Reunited with his teenaged daughter in 1984, he segued into writing books because the responsibilities of fatherhood limited his travel. Even after a dozen books and several screenplays, however, photography remains his passion. No longer soliciting assignments, Wolf occupies himself with self-directed projects, a balance of mining his extensive files and creating new images.

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about... |

Me. I recently completed a memoir of my coming-of-age, provisionally entitled "The Best Outhouse in Vietnam, And Other War Stories I Never Told Mom," and am shopping for a publisher. I intend to follow or accompany that with a collection of my Vietnam photos. |
