Have your tickets to Anna Deavere Smith in Let Me Down Easy yet? If so, come early, grab a
refreshment from our cafe counter, and enjoy our audio and visual lobby display.

Photojournalist Diana Walker accompanied Anna Deavere Smith throughout her travels in Africa and some in the United States as she prepared for Let Me Down Easy. Peruse her vivid photos in the lobby as you listen to the original compositions by Joshua Redman, a world-renowned saxophonist, Berkeley native, and founding artistic director of SF Jazz.

Diana Walker is a photojournalist, based out of Washington D.C. She has worked extensively for publications such as Vanity Fair, People, Life, and Time magazine -- where she  was a White House photographer for more than two decades and covered five presidencies and many campaigns. Her work has been recognized by World Press, the White House News Photographers Association and the National Press Photographers Association. Read more about her and see some images on NPR.
