Perhaps the most memorable was the grainy, cinematic record of the time he spent hanging out with a Brooklyn teen gang called the Jokers, published in Esquire in 1960. „I never felt a separation between myself and what I was photographing because I was really down to the feeling,“ he wrote about the Jokers project, begun when he was just 24, „I just never felt apart. With the gang. I was in the same mood as they where.“ Having spent some of the intervening years photographing the civil rights movement, he approached the East 100th street work with a similar sympathy and dedication, but with an even more pronounced sense of resposibility to his subjects. Davidson returned to this basted strech of East Harlem regularly for nearly two years (always bringing prints for the people he photographede) until he and his bulky view camera began to be a part of the block’s daily life. If the camera on its tripod established a certain pictorial formality, it also opened a new vistas“ (Vince Aletti in Roth). – Der Klarsicht-Schutzumschlag am Fuß gerinfügig eingerissen, sehr gutes Exemplar.
