Dearl Richards
from The Jobs Project
by Harvey Finkle
Last week I went to A Tribute for Change, a fundraiser for Bread and Roses at the National Constitutional Center with a tribute to inspiring photographer Harvey Finkle.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Harvey in action on marches and organizing events, at Truth commissions, at protests ..because I was a part of them. To get an intimate glimpse at an artist, a documentary photographer, finding the little and big moments at just the right time and shooting them with his camera was a gift. I'm fascinated with what he saw during moments of sadness and frustration, of power and resilience, of unity and love, of community organizing. I especially love what he sees in the little, often mundane activities in the everyday lives and struggle of people in this country. His images are haunting. They are beautiful and they tell a story of many people, of our nation. And of the fight and heartache and power of people from all over the world.
The event was amazing. Tim Dowlin shined with his rap about Harvey. And his wife Carol, did an amazing job. She must love that man:)
