New York Park Bench Series
On the ethics of photography: “Are we sometimes exploiting our unknowing subjects for personal gain? That may well be the reason I’ve waited thirty-seven years to share these, guaranteeing that the subjects had long passed. I don’t know. But I do know that the litmus test is your own compassion for the lot of the people you portray. Is it real or is it opportunistic? Some of these seem to be about the burden of life. Dread. Dissatisfaction. I trust that, even in the saddest of images, we are able to shine light, evoke compassion. One thing these photos tell me is this - there is often little difference between an actor playing a role in a film and all of the rest of us behaving (or acting) in the best way we can with the circumstances (or script) that life has dealt us.”
