I‘ve heard the name Gordon Park, but I thank you for introducing me to his work.
Please continue with this series. There are of course plenty of photographs/ers that need more introduction.

[@SteS71]

More like this please, your best upload. Love Gordon Parks work.

[@ErikWahlstromPhoto]

There will be more like this. Thank you for watching.

[@TedPartrick]

Very thoughtful. I read the quote yesterday that "racism is bad, being black isn't". I appreciate your pointing out the dignity Parks finds in his subjects and their lives that we white people overlook.

This video is incredible. I hope many people see it.

[@Raychristofer]

Good job bro very well constructed and narrated. Not everyone can produce something meaningful like this. Respect

Man, this is inspired. You're putting in a lot of work and it shows. Well done!

Well done, Erik.

[@Fleet42]

Found you looking at medium format Pentax cameras followed you because you’re woke, honest and courageous! Thank you!

[@gothampops]

Wow. There's a saying "Each new day I learn something new".

[@shereemaebalangue1296]

Just amazing!

[@ciaranframe578]

Great little documentary, this really paid an ode and brought to light a pioneer!

[@secondbob7707]

Great video! All around good job!

[@thabstract0ne]

Great narration...dope!

[@ErikWahlstromPhoto]

Thank you for watching.

[@FrankWalsh]

Superb

[@williamthompson5929]

Nicely done.

[@alanholzmanphoto]

Powerful, timely video. It shocks me that some viewers gave it a "dislike." Well done.

[@ErikWahlstromPhoto]

Why do you think that might be? 😏

[@mikejankowski6321]

Probably because it made them uncomfortable.

[@yorkieinnz4648]

Awesome Erik...Certainly deserves more views and likes. Sad that there's always a few dislikes to a video with excellent narration and a powerful message with the images portrayed.

[@ErikWahlstromPhoto]

If there weren't any dislikes, I'd wonder if I did this right.

[@scottalanphotography]

Man I love these videos you do like this. Hope you liked the Fomapan images I emailed you. 🙏✌️

[@BastiaanSlabbers]

Kriston Jae Bethel, he is awesome (both IRL and as a photographer). Give him a follow!

[@ErikWahlstromPhoto]

I'll check him out!

Oddly enough I feel that's in part why I've basically stopped taking photographs. Felt they have become just 'pretty' pictures, with no meaning.

[@grabshotphoto7396]

I just watched this video about Dorthea Lange - Of course the whole video is interesting, but here is an example of immediate difference achieved: czcams.com/video/yrODn0f1z0g/video.html

[@JCarlos.unknown]

Well done, Erik.
