Piece of Reality? James Curtis, Professor of History at the University of Delaware and Director of the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture writes, "Historians often regard photographs as a critical form of documentary evidence that hold up a mirror to past events." Essentially, documentary photographers save events or pieces of history. Susan Sontag wrote in her seminal book On Photography, “Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it.” These pieces may coalesce on the web, in newspapers, books and in galleries. Jesús Garza notes his role, “My photographs, evidenced in my Chicano Photographer series, explore an important piece of the American experience. A history often marginalized by the dominant culture.” Chicano Photographer: The 70s from a Chicano's Perspective Globe, AZ: A Community at a Crossroads The Dog: The Greyhound Bus Experience Oaxaca, Mexico About Documentary Photography (909) 557-7151 Copyright 2008 Jesús Manuel Mena Garza.
