Home Actor Platon HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers May 2019 Platon Instagram - dr. denis mukwege. I am so proud of my friend and hero, Dr. Denis Mukwege. The Nobel Peace Peace Prize Committee have named him the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, along with Yezidi Activist and Survivor Nadia Murad. In 1998, Dr. Mukwege built Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, South Kivu province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was set up to help women give safe, natural child births in a poor region, one of the doctor’s first patients was a woman who had been raped with extreme violence. He treated her successfully hoping this was a horrific isolated case - tragically it was not. To date, the Panzi Hospital has treated over 52,000 survivors of rape as a weapon of war. In 2016, I stood at the gates of Panzi Hospital with my friend. We made a promise to each other that we would give the heroic women and girls he has treated an enhanced platform of leadership. I was compelled to amplify their voices to the world. With this post, I present to you the trailer for my first film, "My Body is Not a Weapon." How honored I am to be of service to the doctor and his mission. Dr. Denis Mukwege, I salute you.”

Platon Instagram – quincy jones. “I have been thinking a lot lately about Quincy Jones. I spent the day with him at his LA home back in the late 90’s. John Kennedy Jr. asked me to photograph the most generous philanthropists in Hollywood, and Quincy was on the list. His home was a temple of cultural history – evidence that this legendary game changer had consistently defied musical and racial categorization. The list of his collaborators is extraordinary – Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Herbie Hancock, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. Just think – it was a Quincy Jones recording with Sinatra and Basie that became the first piece of music ever to be played on the moon. Just think – it was a Quincy Jones recording with Michael Jackson that became the best selling album of all time. All my heroes broke social barriers but did so with artistic merit, love, and optimism. I call it, GREATNESS OF HEART. But honestly, it takes faith and unremitting zeal to step out and fight for racial fairness and dignity. So I asked for some advice: “What did you say to the old guard, the outdated power brokers who were unwilling to give your talent a chance?” Quincy’s glowing smile morphed into the face of determination. He replied, “Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance of me.” I had tapped into this man’s FORCE FACTOR. This close up picture was taken one second later. Eventually, it was time to hug this legend goodbye – I couldn’t help feeling emotional. Quincy put his hand on my shoulder and said, “man, you must be a musician.” It doesn’t get better than that. Quincy Jones, I salute you.”
Platon Instagram – john mccain. “I had the great privilege to photograph Senator John McCain many times. The first was back in the mid 1990’s. I was collaborating with John Kennedy Jr. on a large scale photo essay, honoring all the senators and congressmen who had served their country fighting in the Vietnam War. McCain stood out – he was mischievous and fun that day on Capitol Hill. It showed in my picture – a fearless man of conviction who always spoke his mind, ironically covering his mouth. Years later, we met again under different circumstances – now he was running for president and my role was to reflect the heavy responsibility he was carrying. He told me he hated that first portrait – that it was “too artistic” and not “Washington D.C. material.” He said, “make me look like a president this time and I’ll forgive you.” I replied that I could not portray him as anything other than himself. Suddenly, he got it – that moment of empowerment – a chance to project his own authenticity. John McCain rose to the photographic occasion – a dignified man facing a divided nation. With great humility, he believed in service and it showed in my pictures – he was not a physically graceful man – he had sustained permanent injuries from being tortured in Vietnam and this affected his posture and flexibility. But what I captured was his courage, his dignity, and his respect for his country. This was a man whose service was a true measure of his patriotism – a political maverick driven by his moral compass and not by mob rule. The last time we met he pulled me aside and whispered in my ear “you are forgiven.” Ultimately however, my pictures were not of a president to be but of one of the most honorable senators ever to serve on Capitol Hill, unwilling to bend to the split screen – party politics that defines our current turbulent history. Senator John McCain, Requiescat in Pace, I salute you.”
