Photographs Of Red Jackson's Life
Life’s editors largely dismissed many photographs that focused on the more affirmative events and procedures of everyday life. While Parks recorded the violence and aggression of the Midtowners, in the article, it mentions that Parks “made just as many pictures of intimate moments of quiet domesticity and boisterous, carefree Harlem street life.” (...). Photographs of Red Jackson’s brother reading, for instance, were rejected for publication. Likewise, images of children playing around an open fire hydrant or of Red Jackson attending to domestic chores were left out of the published article.
