newyorker:

On February 10th, 1967, around twenty-five members of an anarchist collective known as Black Mask, wearing black balaclavas and carrying giant skulls, took to the streets of the financial district. The photographer Larry Fink was there; he says that “they had nothing but their own stealth, and no support.” They hoped to stoke a revolution. “They were working from a massive historic misinterpretation,” Fink says. See some of Fink’s shots of the march, as well as some of his protest pictures from the Vietnam era, here: http://nyr.kr/ngQtWo

Stephen Shames ‘Bronx Boys’

Description smileinyourface

A selection of photos that American photographer Stephen Shames made of a group of boys growing up in the Bronx, New York, is now published as a book titled ‘Bronx Boys’. Stephen followed the boys for a period of 23 years (1977 till 2000) capturing their lives on the streets and at home, the happy times, the love and tenderness, but also the troubles, the fights, the shootings and the drug deals leading to several deaths and visits to jail.

You can download the book for a fee via FotoEvidence.

This is an AWESOME series. Shames is an American treasure. His photos of the U.S. “underclass” are always enlightening, never patronizing.
