Ken LightA portfolio of Ken Light's work is featured on Sight. Texas Death Row (Hardcover) Summary from Ken Light: "In 1994 I spent three weeks recording life among almost 400 condemned prisoners. There is life on Death Row. After the bloodshed, after the trial, after the withering sentence, condemned inmates are sent off to Ellis I, in Huntsville, Texas to wait for their execution. "Texas leads the nation in executions with 92 since 1976, and during the year I photographed 14 men were killed. Over the eight months I worked, I found myself in the oddest communities, a place where men count the inexorable passage of time both as a victory and a threat. Some men pass their time doing arts and crafts, building clocks, working in the death row factory or excercising. "One thing is certain on Texas Death Row, these men will eventually meet their maker at the hand of the state of Texas." Texas Death Row (Paperback) Delta Time : Mississippi Photographs (Paperback) Summary: A social documentary photographer whose work has appeared in books, magazines, and countless exhibitions presents a photographic journey through the poorest communities of the Mississippi Delta. More than 100 duotone photos capture the legacy of sharecroppers, racism, and poverty in the Deep South--a land where time has brought little change |
