Best Photo From Your Phone in 2020: Time Capsule Edition
Every year, The Brian Lehrer Show asks listeners to submit the best photo sitting on their phone (no babies, no pets). Between the pandemic, the racial justice movement and the challenges to our democracy, the submissions this year were especially poignant. Laura Roumanos, executive director, and co-founder of Photoville and Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, documentary and portrait photographer and frequent contributor to The New York Times, talk about their favorite pictures from the set, and how they were emblematic of the year.
