Bruce Davidson
From the series, Subway 1980
"Davidson, whom historian Peter Pollack has described as "something of a romantic," took almost every conceivable precaution to invalidate charges that he was exploiting the subculture he recorded. It was not a quickie project, but a long-term study. Davidson decides against using a hand-held camera, and chose instead to work with a large view camera on a tripod--thus eliminating any hope of secrecy, or of shoot-and-run techniques, and forcing himself to be open, planted, and vulnerable. He gave away several thousand prints to the residents of the block, and made sure that they all got copies of the book when it was published."
From A.D. Coleman's review on East 100th Street By Bruce Davidson 1970.

Sister Gertrude Morgan
She believed that God came to her and told her to start painting and that she was the bride of Jesus Christ. My favorite is the one of her and Jesus flying in an airplane.

Boogie 2005"Poverty's grinding malevolence is fed in part by social choices and public
policy decisions that directly impact how many people are poor and how long
they remain that way. To acknowledge that is to own up to our role in the
misery of the poor--be it the politicians we vote for who cut programs aimed
at helping the economically vulnerable; the narrative of bootstrap individualism
we invoke to deflect the relevence of the considerable benefits we've received
while bitterly complaining of the few breaks the poor might get; the religious
myths we circulate that bring shame on the poor by chiding them for lacking the appropriate hunger to be prosperous; and the resentment of the alleged pathology
of poor blacks--fueled more by stereotypes than empirical support--that gives us license to dismiss or demonize them."
