Description
What can I say about Lou? His method of photography was to casually walk the streets, meet a stranger and within minutes be in their homes snapping away; no grab and run picture taking for him.
In 1979 he took shots that combined negatives and Polaroids. It is not even manufactured today. He would take the picture and gift the subject with the Polaroid. Lou taught photography for 18 years at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. He career was abruptly ended when he was run over while riding his bike to the campus. He was nearly four years in a coma and died on his 52th birthday.
His images of barrio life are in the Center For Creative Photography in Tucson.
