Photographic

Larry Clark collected photos in album titled "Tulsa, 1963-1971" shows a dark world of sex, violence and drugs, who suddenly revealed himself in a place where no one had expected him - right next to the corner. Clark was a part of this world - his photographs create a very personal and insightful account of the first-hand. He writes about himself,

"i was born in tulsa oklahoma in 1943. When i was sixteen and started shooting amphetamine. And shot with my friends everyday for three years and then left town but I've gone back through the years. Once The needle goes in it never comes out. " LC

With Photos letter reminded me of Philip K. Dick of November 1970, appearing in his biography, "God Invasions":

"We enjoy the ashes and we all die, but we were still a few years and we are happy. We do not want to live longer than those few years, and it will survive as we live now: stupidly, blindly, making love, talking, being together, joking, supporting each other and strengthen each other in good part. (...) No group of people may not be so happy. We knew that we ignore a fundamental aspect of reality, so the such as money or, in my case, sleep. It's gonna get us soon. (...) What they really can count, I think, be happy for a while and have at remembering. "

not see the pictures of happiness, you can not see the community, there is no innocence, which is probably somewhere przebrzmiewa in the list. There are also memories that anyone would like to keep. Does this mean that the world of the writer and photographer differ so much?

Dick finally open its eyes and close everything in the novel "A Scanner Darkly" - image "Drugs, dead-end of the sixties," the story "of the victory over death, a triumph of spirit over the lies that take away the meaning of life."

I think Clark's photos are like an attempt to settle with the past, an attempt to free himself from it.

I have not seen this album. Photographs, which can be found here and there, they are simply titled "Untitled" (I'm not sure if the first picture at all from the album Tulsa.) Without a signature, a long explanation, the image becomes less paper, and more metaphor - becomes a wider, universal significance. I wonder whether the first album release was accompanied by some other information than the one that carried the same title - "Tulsa, 1963-1971" - maybe it was those few sentences written by Clark, which I found detached from everything else, and I quote at the beginning?

In contrast to the photograph Clark, Boogiego pictures taken 30 years later, they have signed. Photographs verge on a similar (maybe without the sex and violence), dark world, which the photographer is looking from the outside but a little - Boogie apparently does not take drugs.

fact that, thanks to a signature, a woman driven into the vein using a syringe suddenly becomes a mother of four children, who instead assist them in learning, he is hiding from them in the bathroom, does not receive photos universal meaning. This information, which give context to what we see in the picture, make these photos are even better and even more frightening.

But looking at the pictures we will never know the whole truth. We can only guess what he really is Martie - that has always been such a Degenerate mother? Or maybe it is just a victim of his addiction? A boy from the first picture - the friends shows off the gun, or is about to pull the trigger, because his life was behind is in ruins?

deCorcia in one part of a great series "Genius of Photography" said something like this:

What we see in the picture is not necessarily such, it seems. However, with a high degree of certainty we can say that all our ideas are true - just not necessarily exactly the situation presented in the photograph.
