  • Notes: Photographer-cum-filmmaker Larry Clark documented the lives of disaffected young men he befriended in New York and Oklahoma. Clark's point-of-view is especially unique since he was a participant in a sub-culture of heroin addicted, sexually promiscuous, self-destructive youth. His directness and intimacy with his subjects gives the impression that he is challenging the viewer to confront their own morality rather than interpreting the morality of the subjects.
