CHRIS HONDROS FUND ONLINE AUCTION
This year marks five years since the death of photographer Chris Hondros and the fourth year for the fund created in his name, which aims to support like-minded photojournalists. The Chris Hondros Fund’s annual fundraiser auction is now accepting bids on several dozen prints by well known photographers. See the prints, books and other items on auction on Paddle8.
Chris Hondros was a Getty Images staff photographer killed in Misurata, Libya in 2011 while covering the civil war. The Chris Hondros Fund advances the work of photojournalists who espouse his legacy and vision, and sponsors fellowships and programs that bring shared human experiences into the public eye that might otherwise go unnoticed or unreported. The winner of this year’s CHF Award is Bryan Denton, who has also worked extensively in Libya.
