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.

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."

Photographs of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by David Burnett
David Burnett's website
A graphic novel, A.D: New Orleans After the Deluge by Josh Neufeld was published this month. It depicts real life accounts of Hurricane Katrina survivors with beautiful illustrations. I would love to buy it, but I'm poor so I read a little bit of the webcomic and was very impressed. There are links next to a lot of the illustrations that take you to actual photographs and video footage.

My Favorite Photo today
Martha Cooper
How rare are pivotal women street photographers? She has been shooting New York graffiti culture since the 1970's. I love her photographs of children.

Her blog type website and a really good interview at Fecal Face
