This is your only chance to see the film in the CNY area and if you haven't already seen our Rogovin exhibit - this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Don't miss it! Ezra Bookstein filmmaker. Milton Rogovin is one of the foremost social documentary photographers of the 20th century. He photographed low income and working class people for 50 years and often said: “The rich have their own photographers. I have chosen to photograph the poor.” As Milton returned, decade after decade, to Buffalo’s Lower West Side he was often greeted with tears and the salutation, “The Picture Man is back!” Milton Rogovin’s photographs celebrate community, legitimize and make visible the lives of common people, and bring dignity and hope to all our lives.
