My Occupation Photographer, author, screenwriter
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.

Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about...
Me. I recently completed a memoir of my coming-of-age, provisionally entitled "Five Foot Soldier, Six Foot Army," and am shopping for a publisher. I intend to follow or accompany that with a collection of my Vietnam photos.
Everyone needs to know about these authors and artists...
Elliot Erwitt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jane Smiley, Michael Connolly, Elmore Leonard, Joan Didion, Mark Twain (really!), Robert Littell... more to come!,
This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
The Tattooed Rabbi, by Marvin J. Wolf
