To mark the company's 20th anniversary, the Corbis photo agency is having prominent personalities comment on culturally and historically significant photos from the collection. On the Storied website, thinkers, authors, artists and photographers report on their personal impressions - in text form or as audio and video recordings. The aim is to shed light on the events, places and personalities depicted in the photographs from a new perspective.
The website was launched today with the following contributions:
- Photographer Henry Diltz talks about shooting The Doors album cover Morrison Hotel
- Author Fran Lebowitz tells the story behind some of Andy Warhol's legendary Polaroid photographs
- Dana Perino, White House press secretary during George W. Bush's presidency, talks about Bush and a historic meeting between five presidents
- Chad McQueen tells stories about his father, actor Steve McQueen, and working on some of his films, including The Great Escape
- Johnny Cash's longtime manager, Lou Robin, remembers the groundbreaking Johnny Cash Show
- Sir Jackie Stewart relives some of the greatest moments of his Formula 1 career
- Amanda Wright Lane and Steve Wright talk about the revolutionary achievements of their great-granduncles, the Wright brothers.
