"Since 1979 Clayton Patterson has dedicated his life to documenting the final era of raw creativity and lawlessness in New York City's Lower East Side, a neighborhood famed for art, music and revolutionary minds. Traversing the outside edge he's recorded a dark and colorful society, from drag to hardcore, heroin, homelessness, political chaos and ultimately gentrification. His odyssey from voyeur to provocateur reveals that it can take losing everything you love to find your own significance."
I wonder whatever became of 'Butterfly Boy'?
First Up in a new column paying homage to the Back 2 Life old masters is Social Documentary pioneer Jerome Leibling. The American photographer is probably most famous for his haunting 'Butterfly Boy' shot, who is almost a poster boy for Leiblings catalogue of work, which celebrates the strength and beauty in Everyday America over the past 50 years.
In a recent doc about his life he told reporter Mike Hazard.' Either there is always going to be pain, and if there is, it'd better be fairly distributed. There are no superiors. I think we're all about the same. But there certainly are advantages in life. And money. And who writes the history, and who says who's got it. And the rich control the history. I suppose I'm saying: these are valuable people.'
Still going strong at 84. Get to Know:
