Larry Clark

Since I didn't post last week, I'm sharing 2 photographers. My second photographer is Larry Clark. His black and white photos of teenagers made me curious as to why he was taking these pictures. The more I researched Larry Clark, the more I liked him. Apparently, according to the "reliable" wikipedia, Larry Clark's mother was a child portrait photographer in the mid 1900's. By 13, he joined his families business....... then starting shooting all kinds of amphetamines with his friends and brought his camera along for his trips. This is what he got.
