Teachers, assign this to your first-year students who want to “photograph the homeless.”

Hello Friends,

Founded in 1935 by German Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, the Black Star photography agency has represented legendary photographers like Robert Capa and “introduced modern European photojournalism to the United States.”

A few weeks ago, the editor of the agency’s blog, Black Star Rising, invited me to contribute – he said he liked my “strong opinions.”

Now, I invite you to read my first guest blogger entry, “Privileged POV: Closing the Disparity Between the Photographer and the Documented“.

Would love to hear any feedback you may have – enjoy!

  • CARLAGIRL PHOTO was founded on 14 February 1999 by Carla Willliams, a photographer, writer, and editor, born, raised and heading back to (yea!) Los Angeles, California.

    It was established with two goals: to be able to make my own work widely available for free, and to make accessible my research about artists of the African Diaspora, especially photographers, and in particular women. As it developed it grew to also include GLBTQ artists.

      Danielle was briefly a contributor to this site; I am very excited to hear about her latest venture, the collective and now journal Mambu Badu “that seek to find, expose, and nurture emerging female photographers of African descent.”  Congrats, Danielle! As you may (or may not) know, last fall, I co-founded Mambu Badu, a photography collective […]


  • "Dedicated to the real photographers of the world—to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms, are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than anything else in the world." - William Mortensen
