Ah, very perceptive. That cord is going to a remote transmitter clipped to his belt. Top secret, only the government had them in the 60's (came from area 51 probably)

Yeah, pretty evocative stuff. The pregnant girl shooting up with the window in the background is one of the most haunting, sickening photos ever taken.
Clark is just a suburban-trash amphetamine addict from Tulsa. Most of his famous shots were taken in Tulsa in the 60's, when he was an addict and living with addicts. I think his goal was to expose things about Middle America that exist but aren't pleasant. If you think of some of the more famous award-winning photos from the 20th century, a lot of them are disturbing as hell. Saigon prisoner execution, Kent State photo, Vietnamese monk self-immolation, Vietnamese napalm kids, etc. I think most of Clark's stuff is just documenting the world he lived in as a self-destructive addict. But yeah, none of it is easy to look at.

It could easily be hidden by his leg as it heads off to his right.
When JFK was campaigning for Pres. he came to Tulsa. i went to hear him, he was a great speaker, very friendly. I bet he shook hands with almost every one of us in the crowd. my dad and I drove up from Norman to hear him. That was the last President my Dad got to greet. My Dad was a persopnal friend to President Truman. While he was President he came an visited us when mty Dad was stationed in Brazil. My mom always told the family how, when I was 3 I threw up on the suit of the President of the U.S.. Before Truman died we talked about that. I was older. Then MY Dad knew President Ike. They served together in Korea. I remember him coming to the house and eating Ice cream. My Dad was a maker of Army ptropaganda films during WWII, and Korea. He retired to Norman and tried to liver a qwuiet life, he wasn't sucessful. But I sure am. I really like it better this way.
Or as his Mexican whores used to call him "El BJ".
I think he is H. Humphrey. Who ran against JFK for the Protestant state of VW that time of year.
I wasn't there (I'm only 23), but if he is a secret service agent he is doing a poor job.
He looks worried as well, with good reason, he lost that state.
I have one in my kitchen because it came with the kitchen (house was my grandparents)
No, that is John Mason.
