Two bodies of work made privately between 1976 and 1985 by a photographer who spent his career working for his city's government, discovered by his children in boxes after his death and edited by his youngest son. Two subjects emerge most clearly: women photographed while he was a bachelor, and children, a body of work he began around the same time. In expanding a conversation about the city and its people, the images register a rapidly developing idea of Black identity in the 1970s; the people pictured are collaborators rather than mere subjects, allowed to unfold as real before the viewer's eyes, free of any narrative that demands classification.
