Larry Clark is a fine photographer whose work I greatly admire. That said, 
his photographs can only come from his personal relationship with his 
demimonde subjects-- rather like Nan Golden-- and his own junkie persona.  
"Tulsa" is largely concerned with drug addicts-- many of whom are now dead, 
and "Teen Age Lust" is conceerned with horney teenages, often with their 
clothes off. It's personal photojournalism of a very high order-- raw, direct 
and intuitive--  which makes the viewer  into a voyeur /accomplice. I love 
it. Arthur
