I've been showing Jim's work to my high school students for the past 22 years, as a reference point for their forays into long form photo journalism and narrative style. Rich and Poor, Raised by Wolves, Open See, Last Son, Gene, Candy. Bravo Jim!!
Stumbled upon an exhibition that installed this collection at the Barbican one summer’s evening and was blown away by his work. It honestly changed my life. The stories and pictures..felt like I got to know just a small piece of their lives. Seeing Dave’s jacket hanging from the ceiling added such an amazing touch. Don’t know how to really express how I felt walking out of his exhibition but it was life changing.
Hope he paid Tweeky Dave well ? Otherwise he wouldn’t have anything interesting to film and use…….. That young sad fella was exploited all his living days , so that would be the least this guy Name Jim could do for him ? But I just bet you the guy gave him squat and of course took all the credit for it too! Big shot in L. A,!
He wasn't exploited. Jim would help him out materially. I remember reading an excerpt from the Magnum website where Jim called Dave's parents when he was sick and they were apathetic to their child's state. So i don't think Jim was exploiting Dave in anyway especially since his work is enlightening certain parts of our society that no one is willing to acknowledge much less look at
jim is one of my biggest photographic heroes, thankful this exists, there's not much available of him talking about his work
