[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1739941, member: 4319"] 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. /threadjack [/QUOTE]
