PLACES
Leica V-Lux in hand, Tesauro keeps one eye on cheap tickets to far-flung places … and another in the range-finder.
His first camera was a 1982 Kodak Disk 4000,
but Tesauro’s never been a photographer. That term implies F-stop fluency and dark room proficiency. From the beginning, Tesauro leaned into the camera as a tool to support his storytelling. Eventually, editors trusted him to shoot his own images and his work has landed in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Travel+Leisure, Esquire, Decanter, and others.

THE WALLED OFF HOTEL
West Bank, Palestine. The differences between Bethlehem and Jerusalem are stark. On the other side, the grass is literally greener. Shot on 4/2/2017 from atop a Palestinian refugee camp behind the Israeli West Bank Barrier, children are resigned to playing in trash with "Eden" just out of reach. While covering the opening of Banksy's Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, a Bedouin guide brought me into this camp to meet its people. This is the view that so many disenfranchised Palestinians see from the rooftop.
