Burroughs Lamar
Photographer in Manhattan, New York
I became aware of the now scourge of gentrification in my Harlem community and decided to do something about it. I decided to use a camera to capture as much of my vastly changing community as comprehensively as I could. In the process I became a documentary photographer.
