Vintage 1970 Images-Struggle. About a year ago I started digitizing my 35mm B&W images from the 1970's. I am not sure where this will all lead to but I have found many images that I realize we're formative in my life as a person and as a photographer. Since I started taking photograph in the late 1960's I was involved in photographing people struggling for a better world. I have gone through over 2000 images and have selected images that were central to my development as a photographer and most meaningful in the events that I was privileged to capture on film. The common theme that excites me is working for progressive change through class struggle. I was not just a photojournalist on assignment, I was involved with the movement as well. I often saw contradictions in people watching a May Day march in Harlem in 1971 vs. those in the demonstration. Why don't more people join in the struggle-what are they focused on? Whether I witnessed and participated in anti-KKK demonstrations in Barnaget NJ or against racist segregation in Morris Park the Bronx in the early 1970, it all seems like similar images with similar struggles are appearing in my digital camera now in 2018.
