  Paul Graham (photographer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham was the first European photographer to engage with New Color Photography and in 1983 published the book : A1—The Great North Road, which had a transformative effect on the fl and white documentary tradition that had dominated creative British photography to that point.
Graham is accepted as an artist-photographer, rather than in the editorial or documentary context, so his work is normally seen in galleries, museums and book publishers, rather than magazines or photo agencies, and as such his work commands the highest prices of any living British photographer.
Graham resided in the UK for most of his life, though with many periods abroad, including Japan.

 Waxy.org: Daily Log: Knauss on Paul Graham's "Great Hackers"
I too have a lot of respect for Graham, and though I am definitely not a hacker in the sense he means, I am more interested in Lisp for his ranting.
For the record: Paul Graham is better looking than me, which definately surprised the hell out of me. He's not better looking than Stewart, though.
Graham never claims that hackers are "better" than "normal people." He merely points out that they're more productive than average programmers, by huge margins, and plays with various aspects of this in his essays, from how to design good tools to how to identify them.

Paul Simon's new CD You're The One marks his first release in seventeen years that was not an ambitious concept album part of a larger work, and yet it's one of the most intriguing recordings of his career and no doubt the best since his ground-breaking world music release Graceland.

 Paul Graham: American Night
Paul Graham’s photographs touch upon the social fracture of America--the great divide between the included and excluded, fls and whites, haves and have-nots.
Graham's images blind and overwhelm the viewer with a feeling akin to stepping out of a sheltered place and into the sunlight.
Beyond their paucity or wealth of color these images contrast one another in their content: These perfect homes are unobtainable to those walking in the burnt landscape; they are a mirage, a dream or promise that can almost never be reached.

 Paul Graham on Python hackers
Paul Graham's recent book "Hackers & Painters" may be interesting readers for Python programmers.
Yeah, but Graham goes on to lump perl in with python, so he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
Python is closer to Java in that they are both strongly Object Oriented languages i n contrast to perl's OO framework that feels more bolted on than integral to me. Both Python and Java tend to focus on providing a single clear interface to a function rather than a multitude of synonyms and syntaxes.
