A very interesting interview. I agree - the photos don't give an uplifting view of the area. However it is a fascinating look into the photographers mind.
I love the sexual energy and the bombastic bodies in many black SCs; - it's just that there are often a thug-minority to where one never feels totally at ease.
There are a couple dancers that I find attractive although the majority are nowhere near my type. Regarding the guys, if they're not thug hood rats they definitely fit the stereotype, I agree with CaraLynn, regarding it being a dismal look into the decline of our civilization instigated by the love affair the photographer seems to have with those thugs. His referring to them as Gods does nothing except glorify thug culture.
CaraLynn87 - well said. That's a huge problem. As much as I enjoyed the interview and the photo essay - the truth behind that lifestyle is that very little (if any) good comes from it.

I think Papi just came again...
I hope that I'm not living a highly sheltered existence. It's possible - but I hope not.
it is a small minority, but problem is, the majority doesn't just kick their collective asses! those types of thugs kill innocents daily.
