I had the pleasure of photographing Charles Best for @wsj Weekend Confidential and it's out now online and tomorrow in print. Charles is the founder and CEO of @donorschoose, the charity he started in 2000 to allow teachers to raise funds for supplies, projects, field trips, etc. that they used to have to pay out of pocket on their low teacher salaries. Now 21 years later, DonorsChoose has raised over $1.1 billion to support 2 million projects in public schools across the country. Big thanks to @ronniephoto for the assignment and @johnnytangphoto for the assist. And to Charles who was fantastic to work with. Link to the article in my profile.

If you just believe in our democracy, and you want an informed electorate, public schools are in your interest, and I think our country is dependent on public schools, whether or not you personally have a kid in the public school system. —Charles Best

My sister was diagnosed aa s diabetic at age 11, so our family has good reason to revere today’s date. On July 27, in 1921, Canadian scientists Frederick Banting and Charles Best successfully isolated the hormone insulin for the first time. Within a year, the first human sufferers of diabetes were receiving insulin treatments, and countless lives were saved from what was previously regarded as a fatal disease. #diabetes #insuline #bantingandbest #banting #best #frederickbanting #charlesbest #nobelprize #nobel #science #scientificdiscovery #medicine #medicalbreakthrough #treatment #famouscanadians #toronto #ontario #canada (at University of Toronto)
