I've seen videos of Bruce Gilden at work (and elsewhere). He's an asshole. That doesn't mean I don't like a lot of his work, but I hardly "believe" it. It's cartoonish and satirical at best -- exploitative at worst. It thrives on its shock value, but there's not much under the covers. On the New York City streets, this might be okay, but in a poverty-stricken and long victimized area, it just kind of smells bad.
I'm less familiar with Kranitz, but her work seems to have a shock value all its own.
The author makes some good points about the project's motives, but by the end, it was more about his various entanglements and dirty laundry with those involved than the photography. And, yes, from t and I, please proofread. |

I think he's way off base to include kranitz. Her essay was good. |
