Man: The Poetry of Photographer Milton Rogovin,
the social documentarian who for nearly forty years photographed
people around the world, focusing on men and women at work.
Continuing in the tradition of masters such as Dorothea Lange,
Rogovin’s portraits of workers include universal images
of women and minorities, subjects that are frequently overlooked
and underrepresented. Milton is turning 100 years old in
December 2009. For more information, visit Milton's web
site.
