Community Awareness

Tracy Pfeiffer

I LOVED the Community Awareness photographs. Each picture has a style that you can sense is the product of expert "hunter" skills on behalf of the photographer and also a distinct flavor that comes from the subjects of the photographs. The photographs aren't beautiful in the traditional sense of the word, but the composition of the photographs and the emotions and style of the subjects combine to create an aesthetic that is at once engaging and poignant. Pictures that an amateur photographer would probably overlook suddenly jump off the page (out of the screen?) and violently pull you into the story with their fascinating anguish.
