"A devastating Portrait of an American Tragedy" - I remember looking at this book over a year ago, flicking through, not paying attention. After coming across this book in the library for the second time I felt a lot different. Realising the book was actually very graphic, extremely interesting and sad. The book is drugs and how Larry Clark shot a collection of photographs whilst shooting up - mainly amphetamine. Although not many of these shots could be classed as documentary, they certainly speak for themselves visually. A story of a man documenting his life; I didn't realise you could feel such emotion looking at photographs - this is why I found this relevant to my brief, I want my images to speak for themselves.
