•

February 26, 2013

Brooklyn-based photojournalist Angela Jimenez has traveled the world to document the untold stories of diverse subjects—among them tsunami survivors, sports bettors, and same-sex ballroom dancers. Jimenez’s compelling work has appeared in Getty Images, The New York Times, Newsweek, and many other paublications. She has exhibited widely and she’s been honored by organizations including the Stonewall Community Foundation, the Magenta Foundation, and the New York Press Photographer’s Association. We recently had the chance to meet in Stamford, Connecticut where Jimenez is embarking on a new documentary project, one that’s brought her closer to home.

Angela, I grew up with your dad and his brother Rick on Grand St in Redwood City CA. Marie and Jacques Sr. treated me as family. Your dad and Polly were at Jan’s and my wedding in 2000 in North Wales PA. I am sorry to hear of your Dad’s illness. Though I was closer to Rick in grade and High school as being classmates, I always looked up to “Jack” as a mentor. I’d love to hear from you or meet you if you’re in the PHL area. Please convey Jan’s and my best wishes to your dad and mom. Sincerely, Jim Hoffman
