Only a culture so thoroughly divorced from where their food originates could find this shocking. Veal parmigiana, anyone? Lox? Hot dogs at a ballgame? Remove the face , package it in plastic, and bon appetit.
Thank you for your perspective. It’s true, we often accept food when it’s anonymous and packaged, while a graphic depiction of its origin forces us to face a reality we’d rather ignore. A viewpoint that perfectly complements the open debate this image invites about human nature and our choices. Thanks for contributing!
First and foremost: Ken has a great eye! Someone will always have a strong reaction to food culture. When well captured probably more so. Whatever the perspective, the fact remains… great photograph. Nicely done and an excellent post. Thank you.
Hey man! Totally agree, Ken is a super street photographer and documentarist. I love his shots and his posts. Thanks a lot for reading and I'm happy you like the episode!
Love this piece, thank you for sharing it!!! I don't consider this to be controversial or offensive in any way, but I do appreciate hearing Kenneth's thoughts on the matter. He chose it, after all. To me it's a compelling image of life at that location.
Hey Donn! Thank you very much for your support and for reading my articles! I also loved reading the story and watching the image because it’s definitely fit in Ken’s style of documenting life in NYC.
A great read. I can understand Kenneth's reservations regarding the where and when to give the image an airing. There is quite a brutal element to the subject, but it is certainly a well executed image with a strong impact. Hats off to you, for having the courage to show a very thought provoking photo. Thanks to you both for sharing.
