I found one of a garden on E12th Street that I liked&#8211;taken on an early spring day it shows a number of people working. It&#8217;s interesting to note that the gardeners appear mostly Latino, which runs counter to my assumption that the urban gardening movement on the Lower East Side was largely a white middle class undertaking. This garden, by the way, still exists on E12th Street between Avenue A and B.<\/p>\n<p>When I did my library slide talk a month ago, I was asked by someone in the audience how many photographs I had from 1980, suggesting that they should be preserved for the historical record&#8211;including pictures that were left out of the book. There are several hundred. \u00a0I do think the entire project should be scanned, and eventually made available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>My exhibition of 14 LES photographs is still up at the Lower East Side Visitor Center at 49 Orchard Street. The next exhibition there begins on May 14th, so I will leave my prints up for a couple more weeks. If anyone is interested in purchasing one or more of the mounted exhibition prints, please get in touch. I am offering them at a favorable price.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E12th Street, 1980 (4&#215;5 film) &#8212; \u00a9 Brian Rose\/Ed Fausty While working on a grant application having to do with urban farming and gardens I went back to my archive of unscanned Lower East Side photographs from 1980.
