Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A celebration of the career of Milton Rogovin, the photographer whose sensitive portraits of working people have inspired generations. After his refusal to answer absurd questions before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee ruined his optometry business, Rogovin began a new life with a camera. In the early 1970s, documenting lives on the Lower West Side of Buffalo, New York, he gave dignity to resident African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans and poor whites. He returned to photograph many of the same people in each of the following three decades and the results of that project appear in this book.

I'm a 35 year old grey male, big, 245lbs, who lives in the rough part of Northeast DC. I'm also a photographer. I wept when I read along with some of these stories and looked at the photos. Real folks, just like you and me. Folks who worry about their mortgages, dislike their boss, happy its Friday, know how to party, have kids, and wife who can't fit in her wedding dress anymore. Snobs like to classify photography: documentary, post modern portraiture, premature ejaculatory something or other - doesn't matter, cause what this is, is real life caught on film. That's it. And its done with such evident love and devotion devoid of tricks that its revelatory as well as relevant.
