words: Jim Goldberg

Another photographer who uses text. Jim Goldberg's photographs of rich and poor Americans in the late 1970s to mid-1980s use the subjects' own handwritten comments about themselves on the prints. The writing reveals his subjects' fears and aspirations and their perceptions and illusions about themselves. These text of these photographs become a crucial part of the work.
