Above is a photo taken by Nicholas Nixon. Well known for his large format portraits, Nixon has photographed subjects such as aids victims, senior citizens, the homeless, as well as people who just enjoy sitting on their front porch. Due to the outrageous fees charged by homeless people just to take their photo, the difficulty of senior citizens who think you're planning some conspiracy or have hearing that's so bad they don't understand a word you've said, and the fact that I'm not acquainted with any aids victims, I decided I'd check out the cats who hang out on their porches. Nixon has a way with people and the way he could show such deep human values in such a simple photo amazes me.
Nicholas Nixon is represented by the Yossi Milo Gallery
