Summary:Discusses the work of the American photographer Alex Harsley. The author notes how the introduction of the Ermanox and Leica cameras in the 1920s changed the nature of photography, considers how the work of photographers such as Roy DeCarava, Robert Frank, Louis Faurer, Garry Winogrand, and Lee Freidlander established the genre of street photography, and suggests the importance of Harsley as an African American photographer. He compares his work to the photographer Robert Frank, and describes his video collaboration with artist David Hammons entitled Phat Free.
