"Contemporary photographers today are actually reflecting on, and looking at the history of images of black subjects. Redefining from the caricatures and the stereotypical images that were made earlier, about African Americans in photography. They were always kind of humorous images, eating watermelon, or seen as alligator bait. During the 20's and 30's there were always kind of the images that were projected of, of black children who wore tattered clothes, or unhappy, or homeless kind of images. It really kind of told a story that was not necessarily true of black families, but they were the images that were pervasive.
The contemporary photographers today, they're really interested in telling another story. We can actually turn the image around. There's not one image of blacks, Americans, but there are a range of images that we can all reflect upon."

It brings a way of showing those moments captured to others, and sharing it with the world.
