Street photographers spend their day surrounded by a never ending stream of change but usually end up freezing just a few moments in isolation. Graham, indeed, has taken his passion for street photography and added a new element by expanding it beyond the classic single fraction of time suggesting more of the relentless flow of life.

Also of interest is the moment he chooses to start his recording. These moments often include an African American or person of other color and sometimes members of public agencies but maybe this is just the way it is on the street?

The installation was a revelation with large prints hung three inches from the gallery floor which became an extension of the streets and sidewalks.

Groundbreaking.

Very thoughtful essays on both shows!
