Les tensions - dues aux conflits de religion - éclatent fréquemment dans le foyer familial et amènent le couple à se séparer. Le jeune garçon et son frère sont alors confiés à leur mère. Très jeune, Joel Peter Witkin est confronté à la mort : « A six ans, j'ai assisté avec ma mère et mon frère à un carambolage impliquant plusieurs voitures à Brooklyn. De l'ombre des véhicules retournés, a roulé vers moi ce que j'ai pris pour un ballon, mais comme il roulait plus près et finissait par s'arrêter contre le trottoir où je me trouvais, j'ai pu voir qu'il s'agissait de la tête d'une petite fille.

Cette expérience m'a fait tomber amoureux, non seulement d'elle, mais de la vie en général. Plus tard, lorsque pour la première fois j'ai tenu en main un appareil photo, c'était comme si je tenais la tête de cette petite fille. ». Quelques oeuvres majeures : Courbet dans le bain, 1985.

Among the most basic of human needs is the need to connect with others.

With a smile, a laugh, a whisper or a cheer, we connect with others every single day. Today, the connections between people increasingly happen online.

On Tuesday, the first day Google+ was open widely to the public, Google+ recorded nearly 3.58 million Web visits in the U.S., according to new data from Experian Hitwise. Since its invitation-only launch in June, Google+ posted a daily high of about 321,000 U.S. visits. Compared to Facebook, however, Google+ remains a minnow. Even on Tuesday’s traffic spike for Google+, Facebook had 72 times more U.S. visits the same day, according to Experian Hitwise. The figures don’t include Web visits from mobile devices, from mobile apps or from users on the Google+ “notification bar.”
