Photography Book Makes Black History Month Fun
The Californer/10228012

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Californer -- Remember Waldo? Since its release in September 1987, the series, created by artist Martin Hanford, has changed the way we look at books. The main character, known in America as "Where's Waldo", is also known in Britain as "Wally". His name is "Charlie" in French, "Wolli" in Korean and and "Walter" in German. The obsession with finding the hidden hero has generated hours of fun and frustration for millions of fans, all over the world.

What does this have to do with Black History Month? Celebrating its 15th Anniversary, "Reflections" by Terrence A, Reese is a critically acclaimed best seller that offers a similar experience, but with a twist. Instead of searching for a "stripes-and-hat" wearing cartoon, the photo book challenges you to find Jesse Jackson, Collin Powell, BB King, Dr. Selma Burke or dozens of other well (and less) known figures from African American history, music and pop culture. Each subject is creatively photographed in their home or work environment, but hidden by their reflection in a mirror.
